METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING STATE OF ATHLETE AND DEVICE FOR IDENTIFYING STATE OF ATHLETE

摘要

To precisely identify a state of an athlete who is present in a swimming pool, a processor used in a device for identifying a state of an athlete or a method for identifying a state of an athlete refers to a result of performing processing of detecting the athlete in a video image obtained by imaging the athlete who is present in the swimming pool and identifies an advancing direction of the athlete as a direction that is different from the previous advancing direction on the basis of a result of the detection of the athlete after the athlete is present in a region on the side of an end of the swimming pool. In this manner, it is possible to more accurately identify the advancing direction of the athlete and to thereby precisely identify the state of the athlete who is present in the swimming pool.
