Abstract(in English) We propose a computer vision method to estimate swimmer positions and strokes in a 4K video that covers a whole pool surface. Complex water surface and splash made by swimmers are the problems in this research. We realize fine pose estimation by two-stage computer vision process that uses two mask images. We realize stroke estimation by applying a template matching method where the template is chosen to have unique pose of swimming styles. We evaluated the performance of our proposed method on swimming video captured at a nationwide official game.
