Abstract
Disclosed are techniques for quantifying body postures of a player employing a loop drive technique to strike a ball, such as performed in table tennis activities. A video recording of a player striking a ball with a loop drive technique is received and divided, using image processing techniques, into two segments: the first concerning player body postures before the ball is hit, and the second concerning body postures from the moment of impact between the ball and racket and the subsequent follow-through body postures. Then, image processing techniques are again leveraged to isolate and quantify specific body postures contributing to a loop drive technique in a given segment.
