Victor Dequidt, co-founder and CTO of OCHY and Benjamin Niay, PhD in Computer Science will present how OCHY is using computer vision, AI and biomechanics in the running industry.
They will then present the use of their AI system in collecting and interpreting biomechanical data in running, to produce a biomechanical analysis accessible to everyone using smartphone recordings.
Guillaume Saulière, a biostatistics researcher at INSEP, and Alexandre Schortgen, a PhD student in computer science at INRIA, will present the priority research project PerfAnalytics, funded by the National Research Agency. This presentation will highlight the main results of the project, illustrated with application examples from various Olympic and Paralympic sports.
In the second part, the markerless motion analysis methods developed by PerfAnalytics will be showcased through an athletic profiling case study. A video-based estimation of mechanical power produced during counter movement jumps will be compared with results measured by force platforms.
This Thursday, November 14, the Open Innovation Camp organized by the Pôle Images & Réseaux took place at Roazhon Park.
DIGISPORT was present to showcase the REVEA project in collaboration with the M2S Laboratory, focusing on virtual reality (VR) boxing practice.
Richard Kulpa, co-leader of the DIGISPORT EUR, also delivered a conference on the use of digital technologies in high-performance sports.
Antoine Falisse, postdoctoral researcher in bioengineering at Stanford University and co-developer of OpenCap.ai, will lead a conference at the DIGISPORT 2024 Winter School. He will talk about OpenCap, an open-source software that provides its users with instant detailed analysis of their movement and posture from video data, without requiring specific skills or advanced equipment.
In this talk, he will go over the methods and validation studies he conducted, and present a series of applications related to sports performance, injury prevention, and rehabilitation. He will highlight strengths and limitations of the system and share thoughts for future directions.

From October 27th to November 2nd, 2024, as part of the partnership between DIGISPORT and the Engie Open Nantes Atlantique, our PhD student Simon Ozan and the M2S Laboratory took the opportunity to collect data on the impact of fatigue and pressure on serving in tennis under real-world conditions, using cameras placed all around the court. A major first for a professional tournament!
Over 2,000 serves were analyzed, providing Simon with enough data to finalize his DIGISPORT thesis.
They also had the chance to present their project to all the tournament volunteers, followed by a discussion session.
A big congratulations to the entire team at the Engie Open Nantes Atlantique for this wonderful event !
DIGISPORT will be present from October 27 to November 2, 2024, at the 23rd edition of the Engie Open Nantes Atlantique as a partner of the event!
Simon Ozan, one of our PhD students, will take the opportunity to collect so-called markerless video data to determine the influence of fatigue on serving.
Steffi Colyer, Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in Biomechanics from the University of Bath, will present her research applying markerless motion capture to unobtrusively obtain performance- and/or injury-relevant information in various sports including tennis, badminton and bob-skeleton.
This talk will outline the process of extracting motion from images, highlighting both the utility and the limitations of markerless approaches that must be considered before such technologies are adopted. In relation to different applied sport research problems, this talk will present markerless solutions to enable detailed biomechanical analyses to be conducted outside of the laboratory in normal training and competition settings.

Silvia Fantozzi, from the University of Bologna, will present the use of inertial sensors for the biomechanic analysis of swimming from the laboratory validation to the in-field use with athlete during training session. Different solutions and analysis will be described: from single to multiple sensors, from temporal phases to joint kinematic analysis. The recent development of wearable inertial sensors allows quantitative evaluation of swimming technique for improving performance and injury prevention.
In 2013, we began using waterproof cameras and markers drawn on the skin of swimmers to evaluate their biomechanics. We then moved on to markerless approach and are now using wearable sensors. Our approach integrates kinematic analysis with electromyography, hand pressure sensors and drag evaluation. Our results are the outcome of a collaborative effort between bioengineers, kinesiologists and coaches.
This work will focused on several major challenges: sensor features and locations, type of kinematic analysis, validation in laboratory and in swimming pool. These solutions aim to provide quantitative feedback to coaches and athletes for improving performance and reduce risk of injury.

DIGISPORT PhD student, he will be present at our Winter School to lead a workshop on his thesis topic conducted in a real situation on the athletics track.
The use of inertial measurement units (IMUs) and markerless analysis technologies represents a significant advance in the biomechanical analysis of sport, particularly for complex disciplines such as pole vaulting in training and competition conditions. The aim of this workshop is to propose a toolbox for biomechanical analysis applied to pole vaulting, based on data obtained by inertial measurement units (IMUs) and markerless video capture.
This workshop will take place at the Robert Poirier Stadium, located in Villejean, on the campus of the University of Rennes 2.
