Automatic Evaluation System for Online Physical Education

Abstract

Learning management system (LMS) is a software application that supports e-learning. However, there are some classes in which data management and automatic scoring by LMS are difficult. Dynamic physical education is one such class. Although a teacher can observe a student's physical performance via a remote video camera, the evaluation is done visually. Therefore, data analysis and data management cannot be automated. To address this problem, we have developed an automatic evaluation system for students’ exercise demonstration videos. The proposed system detects the human body from the video and quantifies students’ movement to automatically evaluate the performance of the exercise.
