Abstract

Techniques described herein use signal analysis to detect and analyze repetitive user motion that is captured in a 3D image. The repetitive motion could be the user exercising. One embodiment includes analyzing image data that tracks a user performing a repetitive motion to determine data points for a parameter that is associated with the repetitive motion. The different data points are for different points in time. A parameter signal of the parameter versus time that tracks the repetitive motion is formed. The parameter signal is divided into brackets that delineate one repetition of the repetitive motion from other repetitions of the repetitive motion. A repetition in the parameter signal is analyzed using a signal processing technique. Curve fitting and/or autocorrelation may be used to analyze the repetition.
