Yash Agrawal, Yash Shah, Abhishek Sharma · 2020

In recent years, yoga has become part of life for many people across the world. Due to this there is the need of scientific analysis of y postures. It has been observed that pose detection techniques can be used to identify the postures and also to assist the people to perform yoga more accurately. Recognition of posture is a challenging task due to the lack availability of dataset and also to detect posture on real-time bases. To overcome this problem a large dataset has been created which contain at least 5500 images of ten different yoga pose and used a tf-pose estimation Algorithm which draws a skeleton of a human body on the real-time bases. Angles of the joints in the human body are extracted using the tf-pose skeleton and used them as a feature to implement various machine learning models. 80% of the dataset has been used for training purpose and 20% of the dataset has been used for testing. This dataset is tested on different Machine learning classification models and achieves an accuracy of 99.04% by using a Random Forest Classifier.
