Abstract
The invention is a motion training method. The motion of golf swing will be emphasized. In order to guide a golfer through a proper swing, his/her swing must be analyzed first. To analyze the swing, a set of frame photos will be needed. From those frame photos, the invented method will provide a rule based method to calculate the body mechanics/forces of the golfer. Once the body mechanics/forces are known, the system will then determine the swing is correct or incorrect. If the swing is incorrect, the system will then make suggestions to the golfer about how to correct his/her swing.
Claims15
A method for training a person to move his/her body in a desired way, the method comprising:
- obtaining a set of physical rules associated with acceptable body motion for a particular activity;
- storing data indicative of said acceptable body motion based at least in part on said physical rules;
- obtaining from a first angle a set of sequential images of said person performing said activity;
- obtaining from a second angle different from said first angle another set of sequential images of said person performing said activity;
- obtaining from said images a set of two-dimensional lines defined by at least two points on one or more objects in said images based on said physical rules;
- calculating data indicative of body motion of said person performing said activity based on said physical rules;
- comparing said data indicative of body motion of said person performing said activity with said data indicative of acceptable body motion;
- and
- provide suggestions to said person based on said comparison of said data indicative of body motion of said person performing said activity with said data indicative of acceptable body motion.
