The AI pose model developed by Google Cloud transforms 2D video into 3D biomechanical analysis, offering athletes a unique competitive advantage.
Google Cloud, in collaboration with the U.S. Ski and Snowboard team, has developed an AI pose model that converts 2D video into detailed 3D biomechanical analysis. This system allows for the analysis of 63 joints of athletes with high accuracy, enhancing the understanding of their movements during training and competition.
The model provides real-time results, enabling athletes to receive critically important information immediately after performing a trick, without the need to wait for traditional video analysis. Challenges in tracking movements caused by high speed and potential loss of visibility of joints are addressed through an algorithm that considers previous trajectories.
The project utilizes powerful computing resources from Google, including Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) and the Vertex AI platform, to process data in real time. This not only optimizes the model but also scales it to other types of physical activities that require similar movement analysis.
This innovation has the potential to change the approach to winter training, providing athletes and coaches with the ability to more accurately assess trick execution techniques and minimize the risk of injuries. Additionally, the technology can be adapted for other sports, including summer disciplines, expanding its application.
