Classification of Periodic Sports Activities

Using a Kinect Camera

Kinect is a motion sensing device by Microsoft, that enables users to interact with a computer using gestures and spoken commands.

The device features an RGB camera, depth sensor and microphones. It is capable of recognizing up to six users simultaneously, and tracking 20 body joints of up to two users at a time. Tracking of these joints is called Skeletal Tracking.

This project offers an application for the classification of periodic sports activities, using skeletal tracking. It provides the ability to recognize 8 different sports activities in real-time. The solution is based on machine learning principals.
