• Abstract: During the training for snowboard big air, one of the most popular winter sports, athletes and coaches extensively shoot and check their jump attempts using a single camera or smartphone. However, by watching videos sequentially, it is difficult to compare the precise difference in performance between two trials. Therefore, side-by-side display or overlay of two videos may be helpful for training. To accomplish this, the spatial and temporal alignment of multiple performances must be ensured. In this study, we propose a conventional but plausible solution using the existing image processing techniques for snowboard big air training. We conducted interviews with expert snowboarders who stated that the spatiotemporally aligned videos enabled them to precisely identify slight differences in body movements. The results suggest that the proposed method can be used during the training of snowboard big air.

  We present a first investigation of event-based Video Frame Interpolation (VFI) models for generating sports slow-motion videos. Particularly, we design and implement a bi-camera recording setup, including an RGB and an event-based camera to capture sports videos, to temporally align and spatially register both cameras. Our experimental validation demonstrates that TimeLens, an off-the-shelf event-based VFI model, can effectively generate slow-motion footage for sports videos.

  "Learning to run" competition was to train a two-legged model of a humanoid body to run in a simulated race course with maximum speed. All submissions took a tabula rasa approach to reinforcement learning (RL) and were able to produce relatively fast, but not optimal running behaviour. We demonstrate how data from videos of human running can be used to shape the reward of the humanoid learning agent.
