Single Camera based Motion Investigations of Throwing with Arbitrary Trajectories

Abstract

Currently, there are many things that support the daily life of Upper limb handicapped person such as artificial hands, but very few things that support elaborate movements such as sports. Therefore, I focused on the underarm throw used in boccia and thought that reading the important parameters of the throw would lead to support. In this study, we investigate data on body parts related to important parameters in pitching. If it becomes possible to estimate the pitching intention from this result, it is considered that it will lead to the support of the upper limb handicapped person.
