Motion Analysis Project

This project demonstrates motion analysis by detecting and calculating angles of human joints in real-time using a webcam. It utilizes OpenCV and MediaPipe for pose estimation.

Getting Started

Follow these instructions to get the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10 or higher
• pip (Python package installer)

Installation

1. Clone the repository

   To get started with the project, first, clone the repository to your local machine.

   git clone https://github.com/aleattene/motion_analysis.git

2. Set up a virtual environment

   Navigate to the project directory and create a virtual environment.

   python3 -m venv motion_analysis_venv

3. Activate the virtual environment

   On Windows:

   .\motion_analysis_venv\Scripts\activate

   On macOS and Linux:

   source motion_analysis_venv/bin/activate

4. Install dependencies

   Install all the required dependencies using pip:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Running the Application

To run the application, execute the main script:

python3 main.py

Usage

Once the application starts, it will use your webcam to detect and display the angles of your movements in real-time.

To exit the application, press the q key. Upon exiting, the last detected angle will be printed to the console.
