Prediction of Basketball Free Throw Scoring by OpenPose

Abstract

OpenPose of CMU can realize simultaneous posture recognition of multiple people in real time by simple Web camera. We developed two application systems utilizing OpenPose. The first one is a basketball free throw prediction model with human posture data recognized by OpenPose. The second one is a healthcare application which aims to detect brain stroke tendency. In this article, we focus on what we achieved through our first application development. We accomplished to build a high quality motion prediction model with OpenPose data. We consider it opens a way for other research and application developments which are related to human posture and motion.
