Publication number: 20230082953Abstract: Methods and systems are described for real-time instruction and coaching using a virtual assistant for interaction with a user. Users may receive feedback inferences provided generally in real-time after collection of video samples from the user device. Neural network architectures and layers may be used to determine motion patterns and temporal aspects of the video samples, as well as detect activities of the foreground user despite background noise. The methods and systems may have various capabilities, including but not limited to live feedback on performed exercise activities, exercise scoring, calorie estimation, and repetition counting.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2021Publication date: March 16, 2023Inventors: Guillaume Jean Fernand BERGER, Roland MEMISEVIC, Antoine Clement MERCIER
