Promotion System for Home-Based Squat Training Using OpenPose

This study aims to develop a support system to promote daily home-based squat training for beginners, using an achievement score and video annotation as inputs for improvement. In this work-in-progress paper, we propose three feedback functions for maintaining and improving motivation and for learning correct training forms. We conducted a pilot study to confirm the extent to which scoring can utilize the squat postures, based on the joint center detected using OpenPose. Accordingly, we were able to detect the important points necessary to score and evaluate the squat postures accurately. Thus, the effectiveness of using OpenPose was verified.
