Abstract
Disclosed are methods and systems for utilizing motion capture techniques, for example, video based motion capture techniques, for capturing and modeling the captured 3D movement of an athlete through a defined space. The model is then compared with an intended motion pattern in order to identify deviations and/or form breaks that, in turn, may be used in combination with a scoring algorithm to quantify the athlete's execution of the intended motion pattern to produce an objective score. It is anticipated that these methods and systems will be particularly useful for training and judging in those sports that have struggled with the vagaries introduced by the subjective nature of human scoring.
