Abstract

Recently there have been many interests on tangible sport games that can recognize the motions of players. In this paper, we propose essential technologies required for tangible games, which are methods for swing motion recognition and the calculation of shuttle cock's trajectory. When a user carries out a badminton swing while holding a smartphone with his hand, the motion signal generated by smartphone-embedded acceleration sensors is transformed into a feature vector through a Daubechies filter, and then its swing type is recognized using a k-NN based method. The method for swing motion presented herein provides an advantage in a way that a player can enjoy tangible games without purchasing a commercial motion controller. Since a badminton shuttle cock has a particular flight trajectory due to the nature of its shape, it is not easy to calculate the trajectory of the shuttle cock using simple physics rules about force and velocity. In this paper, we propose a method for calculating the flight trajectory of a badminton shuttle cock in which the wind effect is considered.

최근 다양한 모션 센서를 이용해서 실제 사용자의 동작을 인식하는 체감형 스포츠 게임에 대한 관심이 높다. 본 논문에서는 체감형 게임 플레이를 지원하는 배드민턴 게임의 구현에 필요한 핵심 요소 기술인 스윙 모션의 인식과 셔틀콕의 궤적 계산 방법을 제안한다. 사용자가 스마트폰을 손에 쥐고 배드민턴 스윙을 하면, 스마트폰에 내장된 가속도 센서가 발생시키는 모션신호를 다우비시 필터를 이용해서 특징벡터로 변환하고, 이를 k-NN 기반의 인식을 통해서 스윙 타입을 알아낸다. 본 논문에서 제안한 스윙 모션 인식 방법을 이용하면, 상용 모션 콘트롤러를 구입하지 않아도 체감형 배드민턴 게임을 즐길 수 있는 장점이 있다. 배드민턴 셔틀콕은 그 모양의 특징으로 인해 독특한 비행 궤적을 가지고 있기에, 단순한 힘과 속도에 관한 물리 법칙으로는 그 궤적을 표현하기 쉽지 않다. 본 논문에서 우리는 바람의 영향을 고려한 배드민턴 셔틀콕의 비행 궤적 계산 방법을 제안한다.
