Most existing methods of motion assessment system used the contact sensor, infrared sensor, and depth sensor, and few works provided the solution of digital camera. To solve this problem, the authors propose a new motion assessment system based on light camera. In this work, the motion assessment was regarded as pattern regression problem of skeleton joint trajectory. Firstly, the system uses the camera to capture the image sequences. The pose estimation method is used to obtain body skeleton from image. Secondly, due to the difference of motion frequency of each person, the length of the image sequences is different and the length of each joint trajectory also will be different. Fourier transform is applied to normalise the trajectory and use the coefficients of Fourier transform as the joint trajectory feature. Finally, the regression model is built to assess the motion quality. Some experimental results and discussion on action video data are used to verify the effectiveness of the system.
