We developed the "Fencing tracking and visualization system." It detects the tips of sabers (fencing swords) to visualize the trajectory of the sabers in real time, which doesn't require any markers but works only with the input of the images from cameras. This is the only fencing visualization technology that has been used in actual international fencing matches, such as the H.I.H. Prince Takamado Trophy JAL Presents Fencing World Cup 2019.
