INTRODUCTION
 Computer vision is a technology widely used to
overcome the limitations of human vision.

 Martial arts have a very fast dynamics of

movement, therefore it is important to be able to
digitize and analyze the movement.

 Motion capture data has great potential in sports

to measure athlete performance and measure the
specific needs required for movement.

2
INTRODUCTION Cont.

 Taekwondo is a Korean national martial art and one of

the martial arts competed in the Olympics as well as
various world competitions.

 The purpose of this study is developing an algorithm

that can identify the similarity of angular kinematic
motion in self-defense automatically with the kinematic
inverse method, fitting curve, and Pearson Correlation
Coefficients (PCC)

RESEARCH FRAMEWORK

4
Data Motion Acquisation

The acquisition of motion master and movement of

trainees using motion capture technology. Motion data
is stored in Bio Vision Hierarchy (BVH) format.

5
Pre-processing

 Preprocessing begins with reading the bvh file using a bvh

reading algorithm.

 The BVH files before being used for the analysis process are
filtered to eliminate interference during data capture.

 The data collection of [x, y, z] coordinate moves of each

joint and each frame, is stored in the form of a CSV file.

Determine the x, y and z axis position
transformation with Inverse Kinematics
Methode
 Determining the change in the angle of
the motion position from the initial
position of the axis [x, y, z] to the axis
position [x, y, z] end-effector.

8
Determine velocity and acceleration of each
joint

The velocity of the position is the first derivative and the

acceleration of position using the second derivative.

Smoothing algorithm using fitting curve

To create algorithms to improve the graph of angular

results, speed and acceleration by doing fitting curve.

9
Algorithm Similarity Pearson Correlation
Coefficients (PCC)

 The PCC algorithm is used to measure the

linear correlation between the two datasets.

 The indicator of correlation is if the value is

in positive 1 or negative 1 but if the value 0
then declared not correlate

CONCLUSION

 This research can improve the processing of data

by producing algorithms for reading BVH and
analyzing Taekwondo movements automatically
and in real-time.

 The resulting algorithm has been able to produce

a measurement of the similarity of master motion
and trainees using PCC of 80% for the hip joint on
the x-axis, which means that the trainee moves
closer to the master movement on that axis.

14
CONCLUSION

 The results obtained between PCC and Cosine

Similarity are not much different, so it is necessary
to develop a method for analyzing motion.
 The PCC and Cosine Similarity cannot identify
movement mistakes made by trainees, only can
produce correlation values of similarity of motion
between master and trainee.
 Future research develops a method that can
analyze the similarity of motion and can also
identify errors in the motion.
