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.
