Abstract
A method for adaptive user training and gaming utilizing a media player is disclosed that includes acquiring images from cameras surrounding a training environment and attempting to segment a ball and a human in each of the images, wherein when failing to segment either the ball or the human in a first image, the first image is rejected from further processing. The operations additionally include creating masks of the ball and the human, extracting features for both the ball and the human in each of the remaining images, and computing surface information of the training environment using photoclinometry. For each of the remaining images, the operations includes computing a distance between the ball and the human. Additionally, the operations include identifying an image having the greatest distance between the ball and the human and computing a three-dimensional topography from the identified image.
