Performance profiling in sports allow evaluating opponents' tactics and the development of counter tactics to gain a competitive advantage. The work presented develops a comprehensive methodology to automate tactical profiling in elite badminton. The proposed approach uses computer vision techniques to automate data gathering from video footage. The image processing algorithm is validated using video...
In the high pressure environment of international sports, tactical advantages are gained through proficient anticipation of opponent movement patterns and the efficient execution of counter movements. Such anticipation and decision making is reliant on the comprehension of past tactical knowledge. We have proposed a method to classify and visualise tactical movement data in badminton, allowing the...
Derived from ecological psychology, the term ‘affordance’ refers to the functional classification of objects. It simply means the set of actions a subject (i.e. humans and anthropomorphic agents) can possibly perform with an object. There are several paradigms in the researches regarding the approaches of affordance detection. These approaches include considering other contexts like the subject, ambient...
Nowadays most of the education institutes practice online teaching mechanism rather than using the traditional teacher centered teaching mechanism to enhance the learning ability of the students by making a student centered learning mechanism. The teachers have to evaluate the students' performance no matter what their learning mechanism is and there are ways of doing that i.e. formal evaluation and...
Identifying abnormalities in complex Human Object Interaction (HOI) based videos and labeling their possible categories is a novel and ambitious research problem, which requires an optimal blend of the state of the art computer vision and machine learning algorithms. For classifying a HOI event normal or abnormal and subsequently classifying the potential abnormal categories requires the knowledge...
In tactical analysis of fast-paced net-based sports such as badminton, the identification of habits and movement of an opponent provides an advantage in terms of reaction time, which results in a player obtaining control of the game. A tactical analyst in badminton segments the court using imaginary lines, and intuitively notâtes the position of a player according to those segments throughout the...
With the development of the technology, people have tend to figure out methods which are not only capable in hiding a message, but also capable of hiding the existence of a message. Steganography was introduced as a result of such research work. The current study is conducted in order to hide a video in a visual file. We suggest changing the LSB (Least significant Bit) of each byte of the carrier...
The term Edutainment, has been fabricated by combing the two words “Education” and “Entertainment”, and as this term expresses, this concept provides educational entertainment or entertainment-education. That means this let the student to learn subject matters with entertainment, so that the students get attracted to learning rather than getting used to learning through the teacher centered learning...
This paper introduces a new boundary detection technique, named rotating line scanning, which can be considered as a boundary growing methodology. Some image enhancement techniques are also introduced which were used to make it possible to work correctly. Image enhancement techniques used in this method do not include any kind of smoothing and as a result the preprocessed image remains as sharp as...
Aging is an inevitable process and its effects cause major variations in the appearance of human faces. Human face identification has a significant amount of information depend on his age, gender, ethnicity and etc. In addition, facial expression and facial gestures often reveal the emotional state of an individual. Consequently human facial analysis has received considerable attention and has led...
