Title
Development of a yoga posture coaching system using an interactive display based on transfer learning
Abstract
Yoga is a form of exercise that is beneficial for health, focusing on physical, mental, and spiritual connections. However, practicing yoga and adopting incorrect postures can cause health problems, such as muscle sprains and pain. In this study, we propose the development of a yoga posture coaching system using an interactive display, based on a transfer learning technique. The 14 different yoga postures were collected from an RGB camera, and eight participants were required to perform each yoga posture 10 times. Data augmentation was applied to oversample and prevent over-fitting of the training datasets. Six transfer learning models (TL-VGG16-DA, TL-VGG19-DA, TL-MobileNet-DA, TL-MobileNetV2-DA, TL-InceptionV3-DA, and TL-DenseNet201-DA) were exploited for classification tasks to select the optimal model for the yoga coaching system, based on evaluation metrics. As a result, the TL-MobileNet-DA model was selected as the optimal model, showing an overall accuracy of 98.43%, sensitivity of 98.30%, specificity of 99.88%, and Matthews correlation coefficient of 0.9831. The study presented a yoga posture coaching system that recognized the yoga posture movement of users, in real time, according to the selected yoga posture guidance and can coach them to avoid incorrect postures.
