MuyBridge is an on-device system that estimates an athlete’s segmental center of mass (CoM) trajectory from a single phone camera video stream. It combines a compact 2D pose network with a distilled monocular depth network, fusing their outputs through anatomical and physical priors to produce metric CoM estimates without requiring 3D or task‑specific supervision. On the AthletePose3D dataset, MuyBridge achieves 33–41 mm vertical CoM error and 2.3–6.6 % absolute‑relative range error, delivering CoM estimates at 63 FPS on an iPhone 15 with asynchronous depth updates.

The paper introduces PART, a multimodal predictive framework for tennis that combines physiological, training, sleep, questionnaire, jump, and video data from nine collegiate players to assess overall wellness, injury risk, physical capability, and playing style. Using machine learning and deep learning, PART provides holistic athlete assessments and forecasts specific injury risks to body areas such as elbows and knees. Evaluation shows strong performance in predicting wellness and injury risk, with potential benefits for recreational players who often injure themselves due to poor technique.

DirtyMoCap is a marker‑layout‑free framework that converts unordered, noisy optical motion capture markers into a fixed set of proxy anchors representing skeletal joints and body surface points. Using a recurrent sliding‑window architecture to track these anchors and a custom differentiable Gauss‑Newton solver to fit the SMPL‑H model, the method learns adaptive observation confidence, smoothness, and prior weights end‑to‑end. Experiments show that DirtyMoCap generalizes across arbitrary marker configurations, outperforms configuration‑specific baselines in joint and vertex accuracy, and achieves up to a 100× speedup over standard PyTorch implementations, enabling the creation of a temporally coherent Kung Fu motion dataset.
