Ms Kinect Pose Detection For Rowing Proof Of Concept

I would like to demonstrate the possibility of using a Kinect - preferably the Azure to detect the pose of a rower live during the stroke. Key markers: Knee position Shoulder position Hip position Elbow position Back arch - (key challenge) A key challenge is the inherently two dimensional nature of the rowing stroke and the fact that pose detection software is typically designed for front-on detection. The goal is to understand what is and is not possible with current Technology and how difficult it will be to get a strong pose detection algorithm in place for the rowing motion. Deliverables - 1. Screencap video of someone using a rowing machine as the software detects the position of the above markers with whatever degree of precision is possible - the camera must be side-on to the athlete, and the video must demonstrate the camera detecting the points outlined above. This may be delivered by filming a video on a computer using a kinect or by the developer emulating the rowing motion side on as the software detects their motion. 2. The code used to achieve the above outcome 3. Discussion regarding the project so I can understand your perspective better
