Basic Research on System for Calculating Athletes’ Speed in Corner of Track and Field

Abstract

In track and field, a speed gun is often used to measure the running speed of athletes. However, it is very difficult to keep measuring at the corner using that device. Therefore, in the corner, the image is checked visually by analysts. There is a problem that judgment is different by analyst and error occurs. In addition, it takes effort to check multiple videos images. In this research, we develop a system for calculating athletes' speed from video images.
