When going out for a skate or BMX session, I often set up a tripod and record it in order to analyze technique, check progression and find areas to improve. I then edit the clips in iMovie to remove everything but whatever trick I'm doing. This is an attempt to automate that process.
There are some reasons why I think a POC should not be too complicated:
- empty skatepark, no other people around
- most of the times I go out of camera between attempts, so simple motion tracking might suffice.
- background is static.
I haven't done any OPENCV in many years, and never used pyhton before, so I expect this project to be a learning ground too.
