Simulating Feasibility Assessment of the Golf Swing by Kinect Motion-Sensing Photography

Golf swing analysis is a popular research subject, and is divided into contact sensing and noncontact sensing analysis according to different research methods. Contact sensing research often uses wearable sensors, including triaxial accelerometers, gyroscopes, and gravity accelerators, which are mounted on the golfer's limbs or relevant equipment. This study aims to construct a teaching system for correcting swing action using non-contact sensing Kinect motion-sensing photo equipment. The proposed system is expected to collect a golfer's pose and action during the backswing for data analysis, and detect incorrect backswing actions in order to attain the goal of interactive golf teaching.
