Analyze Body Poses Using AI

We use state of the art artificial intelligence to automatically analyze the body in motion and generate meaningful measurements.

AI capabilities are getting so powerful that we can now quite accurately determine and track a human skeleton overlay of the human form. This capability, often referred to as pose estimation, is surprisingly powerful as a starting point for analyzing human (and animal) form in imagery for myriad applications. We at Xyonix have built a platform that makes it easy to analyze many different activities for our clients using just a cell phone and some fancy tools in the cloud. Check out the video above.

Our body pose analysis can be used on any number of activities. From sports medicine and performance to physical rehabilitation and even disease and condition analysis, the possibilities for automatically analyzing human or animal movement cheaply on a smartphone are endless.

Early Developmental Risk Screener

We helped our client build out automated tools for early motor development risk and autism spectrum screening. Automatically and accurately extracting an infant’s pose and understanding these movements over time can be essential in preventing a lifetime of problems.

Penalty Kick Activity Analyzer

Can we better an individual goalie’s chances of stopping a penalty kick with advanced AI? Many of us at Xyonix are huge soccer fans. With the recent excitement of the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup, and the success of the U.S. Women’s National Team, we got inspired to try and apply advanced AI techniques to soccer. The results helped us work out the kinks in our activity analysis platform.

Running Gait Analyzer

Can amateur runners improve their performance using artificial intelligence and nothing more than a smart phone? As an AI practitioner and a dedicated runner, one of our resident data scientists decided to find out. The results led us to building out the activity analysis platform.

Here at Xyonix we are helping a customer build models to help screen for early developmental disorders in infants. Deep learning techniques using the infant pose estimation significantly outperform results applied to video frames themselves. In addition to assisting physicians with diagnoses, pose estimation can be used in sports and rehabilitation therapy applications like automatically analyzing posture, gait and other body poses as you can see in our video and articles above. Human pose analysis can also be quite helpful in identifying areas of improvement for athletes, such as optimizing a runners form, a golfers swing, or a soccer goalies dives. Other key areas where pose estimation can be quite helpful include assisted living (fall detection), character animation (alleviates the need for costly sensors), video games, and animal behavior understanding.

testimonials

“I don’t think a five out of five really encapsulates the work that they do. The work is top-notch. It’s what we ask for and more. They go the extra mile in terms of letting us know that whatever we need, they’re there for us to lend their expertise, to be in a meeting if they need to, to explain the project in more detail. So it’s really going above and beyond.”

Dominique Grinnell, Sr. Product Team Manager at Delta Dental of Washington [more]

“Xyonix’s ability to take a problem that has very little structure around it, build an ontology, and provide an end-to-end solution was pretty impressive. You have to bring quite a few different skill sets to the table, and to have one group of people be able to do that in a really clean and consistent way was very nice and well-executed.”

Eric Kolve, Director of Data Science at Dexcare [more]

“Xyonix is not some local ML leader — they’re global gurus with the technical and strategic skills to transform your business. Xyonix helped me think differently.”

Henry Albrecht, CEO @ Limeade, Inc. [more]

“Xyonix helped us take our technology and product to the next level. What the team was able to accomplish in just a few months was extremely impressive.”

Using AI Driven Video Metrics to Improve Soccer Performance

Professional athletes have long had the advantage of analysis from expensive body worn sensors. AI models, when applied to readily available video, however, offer much promise to more cost conscious amateur athletes. We ask the question, can we better an individual goalie’s chances of stopping a penalty kick with advanced AI?
