How Can I Swing Like Pro?: Golf Swing Analysis Tool for Self Training

TL;DR

This paper introduces a golf swing analysis tool that uses neural networks to synchronize and compare amateur swings with expert swings, aiding beginners in self-training by visualizing key differences.

Contribution

It presents a novel neural network-based method for synchronizing and analyzing golf swings, enabling personalized feedback for self-improvement.

Findings

Effective synchronization of swing videos achieved

Key motion discrepancies identified and visualized

Tool facilitates self-training for golf beginners

Abstract

In this work, we present an analysis tool to help golf beginners compare their swing motion with experts' swing motion. The proposed application synchronizes videos with different swing phase timings using the latent features extracted by a neural network-based encoder and detects key frames where discrepant motions occur. We visualize synchronized image frames and 3D poses that help users recognize the difference and the key factors that can be important for their swing skill improvement.
