Physical exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. To avoid injury, proper body alignment is important while exercising. When the injury has happened and a person is doing rehab, a physiotherapist is not always present, hence a camera-based tool that can guide a person to perform safe exercises can be a very efficient tool to recover from an injury.
The project should investigate body posture and alignment tools that use camera and lidar (e.g. ToF - time-of-flight-camera). Based on the alignment, explore methods to give the user instant feedback on how to adjust the body to obtain proper alignment to minimize harm.
The work could include 1. State-of-the-Art in body posture identification 2. State-of-the-Art in xAI for body parts adjustments 3. Implementation of a body part feature extractor 4. Comparing the extracted features with a perfect (ground truth) model 5. Generate the feedback
