Abstract
A system that includes a mobile application to create a virtual overlay over a field of view of a mobile device, to virtually measure athletic performance of an athlete performing a sports activity. The system is configured to enable virtual boundary-based measurements in order to objectively assess athletes based on scores calculated using the virtual measurements. Displayed to the user are virtual boundaries including virtual planes extending from one or more floor markers within a mobile camera field of view.
Claims8
A method comprising:
- positioning a mobile device relative to a first floor marker such that the first floor marker is within a field of view of a camera of the mobile device;
- wherein the first floor marker includes marking(s) capturable by the camera;
- and
- wherein the first floor marker defines a first boundary associated with a first activity;
- detecting, using a mobile application stored within the mobile device and the camera, the marking(s) of the first floor marker;
- displaying, using the mobile application and over the field of view, a virtual overlay,
- wherein the virtual overlay includes a visual representation of the first boundary and is based on the marking(s) of the first floor marker,
- wherein a position of the visual representation of the first boundary in the virtual overlay is based on a position of the first floor marker within the field of view;
- detecting, using the mobile application, motion of an athlete performing the first activity relative to the first floor marker and the first boundary;
- and
- calculating, using the mobile application, a boundary-based measurement of the athlete based on the detected motion and the visual representation of the first boundary.

A system for virtual measurement, the system comprising:
- a mobile device comprising:
- a camera having a field of view;
- and
- a graphical user interface;
- a first floor marker positioned relative to the mobile device such that the first floor marker is within the field of view;
- wherein the first floor marker includes marking(s) capturable by the camera;
- and
- wherein the first floor marker defines a first boundary associated with a first activity;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of instructions, wherein the instructions are executed with one or more processors so that the following steps are executed:
- detecting, using the camera, the marking(s) of the first floor marker;
- displaying, over the field of view, a virtual overlay,
- wherein the virtual overlay includes a visual representation of the first boundary and is based on the marking(s) of the first floor marker,
- wherein a position of the visual representation of the first boundary in the virtual overlay is based on a position of the first floor marker within the field of view;
- detecting motion of an athlete performing the first activity relative to the first floor marker and the first boundary;
- and
- calculating a boundary-based measurement of the athlete based on the detected motion and the visual representation of the first boundary.
