Real-Time Badminton Form Evaluation (not finished, currently working on)
- I built BIRDIE with my badminton teammate and school friend, Angela, to help new badminton players perfect their form.
- Created a custom, labeled dataset of badminton players' forms from our local club(s) (300-400 images).
- We used machine learning (logistic regression) and computer vision (convolutional neural networks) to build the "Form Detection" feature.
