Jump shot and athletic activity analysis system

摘要

Techniques where a computer or mobile device performs video analysis of a person performing a physical activity such as a basketball jump shot are described. The computer or mobile device performs video analysis to (1) determine a frame of the video data that depicts a body position of the person in a release phase of the basketball jump shot, (2) process pixels in the determined frame to determine data relating to a release point for the basketball jump shot, (3) process pixels in a plurality of the frames to determine whether the basketball jump shot resulted in the basketball going through a hoop as a made shot, and (4) repeat these operations for a plurality of basketball jump shots by the person to thereby track the made shots and the release point data for the plurality of basketball jump shots by the person.
