Publication number: 20230106872Abstract: An athletic performance estimation apparatus evaluates athletic performance from the movement of eyes when observing the movement of a target. A control circuitry (11) selects a measurement condition. A video presentation circuitry (12) presents video according to the measurement condition to an observed person. An eyeball movement measurement circuitry (13) measures the movement of eyes of the observed person who is observing the movement of a target. An analysis circuitry (14) obtains a feature value based on an eyeball movement, from time series information on the movement of the eyes. A normalization circuitry (15) integrates the obtained feature value with a feature value obtained under a different measurement condition and performs normalization. An estimation circuitry (16) estimates the athletic performance of the observed person from a normalized feature value.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2020Publication date: April 6, 2023Applicant: NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE CORPORATIONInventors: Naoki SAIJO, Hsin-I LIAO
