Development of a postural analysis system for dinghy yacht simulators

In this paper, we present a postural analysis system for sailing user on dinghy yacht simulators. The proposed system detects the partitioned specific body parts of the user, extracts feature points of the body parts, and estimates posture information of the user based on the feature points. The extracted feature points are used as information for determining the position and posture of the sailing user. The system also analyzes and evaluates the applicable position and posture with the current situation information for the yachting environment. We set up a dinghy yacht simulator test environment and performed experiments on the proposed system.
