About the Project
Post-Graduate Research Opportunity (MSc in Imaging and Computer Vision)
Reporting To: Dr. Simon McLoughlin
Project Title: High Speed Imaging for Automated Golf Swing Analysis
The Role:
ITB is now looking for a full-time Research Student to work on a research project. This is a Masters studentship that has been funded for a two-year period.
This project will develop a novel machine vision system to automatically analyse key aspects of a golfer’s swing technique. By using a high speed camera from a top-down vantage point, a number of critical swing parameters can be measured. These parameters can be analysed over time to produce statistics to help the golfer and/or their teaching professional improve their game. The system will consist of a synchronized high power light source, a high speed camera and image processing software that is capable of capturing and analysing impact shots. The system will be relatively low cost in comparison to some high speed imaging systems and will target driving range proprietors, teaching professionals and professional and recreational golfers.
Skills and Qualifications Required:
