Title
Videogrammetric Verification of Accuracy of Wearable Sensors Used in Kiteboarding
Abstract
Owing to the combination of windsurfing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, and paragliding, kiteboarding has gained an enormous number of fans worldwide. Enthusiasts compete to achieve the maximum height and length of jumps, speed, or total distance travelled. Several commercially available systems have been developed to measure these parameters. However, practice shows that the accuracy of the implemented sensors is debatable. In this study, we examined the accuracy of jump heights determined by sensors WOO2 and WOO3, and the Surfr app installed on an Apple iPhone SE 2016, compared to a combination of videogrammetric and geodetic measurements. These measurements were performed using four cameras located on the shore of the Danube River at Samorin, Slovakia. The videogrammetrically-determined accuracy of jump heights was 0.03-0.09 m. This can be considered a reference for comparing the accuracy of off-the-shelf systems. The results show that all of the systems compared tend to overestimate jump heights, including an increase in error with increasing jump height. For jumps over 5 m, the deviations reached more than 20% of the actual jump height.
