Systems and methods for generating swing recommendations

A method for generating swing recommendations, the method being implemented in a computer system that includes a physical computer processor and electronic storage, the method comprising:

• obtaining, from the electronic storage, a conditioned swing point model, the conditioned swing point model having been generated by applying an initial swing point model to a training swing image set comprising one or more objects and training swing point data specifying swing points of the one or more objects as a function of position and time, thereby generating a set of swing point relationships between swing images and swing point data, wherein the training swing image set comprises one or more images with motion blur, wherein the training swing image set is based on virtual body models;
• obtaining, from the electronic storage, a target swing image set captured by a capture system, wherein the target swing image set comprises one or more sequential images of at least part of a golf swing, and wherein the target swing image set comprises one or more images with motion blur;
• generating, with the physical computer processor, target swing point data by applying the conditioned swing point model to the target swing image set, wherein the target swing point data specifies the swing points on the target swing image set;
• obtaining, from the electronic storage, a swing characteristic model to track the swing points as a function of position and/or time, wherein the swing characteristic model comprises a set of swing characteristic relationships between the swing point data and swing characteristic data;
• generating, with the physical computer processor, target swing characteristic data by applying the swing characteristic model to the target swing point data, wherein the target swing characteristic data comprises swing characteristics specifying swing characteristic values corresponding to the target swing point data;
• obtaining, from the electronic storage, a swing recommendation model to recommend the swing recommendations based on a detected swing characteristic, wherein the swing recommendation model comprises a set of swing recommendation relationships between swing characteristic data and swing recommendation data;
• obtaining, from the electronic storage, target swing characteristic data comprising swing characteristics specifying swing characteristic values;
• generating, with the physical computer processor, target swing recommendation data by applying the swing recommendation model to the target swing characteristic data, wherein the target swing recommendation data comprises the swing recommendations specifying swing recommendation values corresponding to the target swing characteristic data, wherein the swing recommendations comprise one or more of exercises, drills, equipment, swing changes, or why a prescription was recommended;
• and
• generating, with the physical computer processor, a swing recommendation representation of the target swing characteristic data using visual effects to depict at least some of the target swing recommendation data.

• a display;
• and
• a physical computer processor configured by machine readable instructions to:
• obtain, from the electronic storage, a conditioned swing point model, the conditioned swing point model having been generated by applying an initial swing point model to a training swing image set comprising one or more objects and training swing point data specifying swing points of the one or more objects as a function of position and time, thereby generating a set of swing point relationships between swing images and swing point data, wherein the training swing image set comprises one or more images with motion blur;
• obtain, from the electronic storage, a target swing image set captured by a capture system, wherein the target swing image set comprises one or more sequential images of at least part of a golf swing, and wherein the target swing image set comprises one or more images with motion blur;
• generate, with the physical computer processor, target swing point data by applying the conditioned swing point model to the target swing image set, wherein the target swing point data specifies the swing points on the target swing image set;
• obtain, from the electronic storage, a swing characteristic model to track the swing points as a function of position and/or time, wherein the swing characteristic model comprises a set of swing characteristic relationships between the swing point data and swing characteristic data;
• generate, with the physical computer processor, target swing characteristic data by applying the swing characteristic model to the target swing point data, wherein the target swing characteristic data comprises swing characteristics specifying swing characteristic values corresponding to the target swing point data;
• obtain, from the electronic storage, a swing recommendation model to recommend the swing recommendations based on a detected swing characteristic, wherein the swing recommendation model comprises a set of swing recommendation relationships between swing characteristic data and swing recommendation data;
• obtain, from the electronic storage, target swing characteristic data corresponding to at least part of a golf swing;
• and
• generate, with the physical computer processor, target swing recommendation data by applying the swing recommendation model to the target swing characteristic data, wherein the target swing recommendation data comprises the swing recommendations specifying swing recommendation values corresponding to the target swing characteristic data, and wherein the swing recommendations comprise one or more of exercises, drills, equipment, swing changes, or why a prescription was recommended.
