Bouldering Tracker

Measuring the ability to go up

Deep in youtube I found a video that showcased some software that I was really impressed with

Original inspiration video

Naturally, after seeing that, I wanted to make one myself. A few weeks later I had this demo

First demo in apartment

This was improved over a few weekends and taken to the gym to try out

Demoing it at the gym

Hardware:

The project used a Kinect V2 Camera that connected to a 2018 Dell XPS Ultrabook. No special lighting is needed

Software:

Highlighting Holds:

This is where it highlights the holds, showing in the first few seconds of the video. It uses color and depth to determine if the hold is contiguous

Tracking People:

This is where it highlights the holds, showing in the first few seconds of the video. It uses color and depth to determine if the hold is contiguous

Detecting Human to Hold Collisions:

This is done by tracking the human hand and checking it against the distance (one threshold) and depth (another threshold). If each are met, the hold is marked as "reached" and the color is changed.
