Monocular tracking of human motion in evaluation of hurdle clearance

In this paper, markerless method of human motion tracking for measurement of hurdle clearance kinematic parameters was presented. The analysis involved 5 hurdlers at various training levels. Acquisition of video sequences was carried out under simulated starting conditions of a 110 m hurdle race. Kinematic parameters were determined based on the analysis of images recorded with a 100 Hz monocular camera. The accuracy of determined hurdle clearance parameters was verified by comparison of estimated poses with the ground truth poses. As the quality criterion, the mean absolute error was adopted. The level of computed errors showed that the presented method can be used for estimation of hurdle clearance kinematic parameters.
