A pre-recorded video of a master's swing motion is stored as first frame sequences in computer memory. Target cues indicative of motion progress are associated with each first frame sequence. A video recording of the student performing the swing motion is stored in computer memory as second frame sequences. Reference cues indicating motion progress of the student are inserted into or associated with each student frame. The first frames are aligned with and normalized to the second frames, and then the first frames are synchronized to corresponding second frames using the target cues and the reference cues. The corresponding first and second frame pairs are superimposed, and immediately thereafter displayed to allow the student to analyze differences between his swing motion and the master's swing motion.
A method of analyzing a student's swing motion using a computer, comprising the steps of:
A computer system configured to allow for comparison of a student's swing motion to a master's swing motion, comprising:
A method of synchronizing a motion video of a student's swing motion with a motion video of a master's swing motion using a computer, comprising:
A computer system configured to generate a comparison video highlighting differences between a student's swing motion and a master's swing motion, comprising:
