This is the code for the pose evaluation part of the project Robot for gym exercise guidance in ECE445 senior design.
People are increasingly turning to exercise to improve their health and well-being. However, many individuals are unaware of the correct techniques for performing exercises, which can lead to injuries and other health issues. Though it is possible to hire a personal trainer to provide guidance, the expense is often prohibitively high.
This project tends to develop a robot to provide exercise guidance in a gym setting, monitoring the repititions of movements and generate feedback for incorrect movements.
- Support two exercise types (squat and push-up)
- Count the repetitions of the exercise at runtime
- Generate a detailed report after the user finishes exercising, including:
- Screenshots of the incorrect movements with feedback
- The elapsed time of exercising
- The total number of repetitions
Install the required packages in requirements.txt via pip. Then run with python main.py -t <exercise-type>, where the exercise type is either "squat" or "push-up".
Alternatively, if you want to run the program on a local video file instead of using your camera, add another flag -vs with the path to your video file (i.e. python main.py -t <exercise-type> -vs <path-to-your-video-file>).
We can count various forms of push-ups:)
(The input video file is trimmed from YouTube.)
The program will generate a report containing the feedback. An example shown as below:
