OpenPose Technology Based Yoga Exercise Guidance Functions by Hint Messages and Scores Evaluation for Dynamic and Static Yoga Postures

In this study, the proposed system provides the hint message and hint music functions to guide users through Yoga exercise movements, and the proposed score calculation method is used not only for evaluating and comparing the similarity between the instructor and the user in the static movement, but also for observing the performance of the user in dynamic postures. In yoga exercises, in addition to focusing on maintaining static poses, the changes of dynamic movements between static poses are also very important. In this paper, the conditions of how to implement the hint functions and how to design two score calculations for evaluating static and dynamic postures are introduced. Finally, for various Yoga exercises, the experimental results show that by using the difference of the shape distributions at the static poses mode, and by using the new score distributions combing with static poses and dynamic motions, the proposed guidance and hint functions provided for the self-practice Yoga exercise system are worked effectively.
