A number of sports, including tennis, soccer, gymnastics, running, golf, badminton and cricket have been utilised to display the novel ideas in sports motion tracking. The main challenge associated with this research concerns the extraction of a highly complex articulated motion from a video scene. Our research focuses on the development of a markerless human motion tracking system that tracks the major body parts of an athlete straight from a sports broadcast video. We proposed a hybrid tracking method, which consists of a combination of three algorithms (pyramidal Lucas-Kanade optical flow (LK), normalised correlation-based template matching and background subtraction), to track the golfer's head, body, hands, shoulders, knees and feet during a full swing. We then match, track and map the results onto a 2D articulated human stick model to represent the pose of the golfer over time. Our work was tested using two video broadcasts of a golfer, and we obtained satisfactory results. The current outcomes of this research can play an important role in enhancing the performance of a golfer, provide vital information to sports medicine practitioners by providing technically sound guidance on movements and should assist to diminish the risk of golfing injuries. 2014-04-02T07:21:31Z 2014-04-02T07:21:31Z Apr-2014 Article Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies, vol. 18(2), 2014, pages 220-227 1532-9283 http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/33364 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1360859213000788 http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jbmt.2013.05.011 en Elsevier Ltd.
