Methods and computer-readable medium for tracking motion
First Claim
1. In a computer system, a method for tracking motion, comprising:
- receiving a plurality of discrete images from a camera having captured a subject in an activity;
providing an event window having at least two cells for receiving a user input, each of said at least two cells pertaining to an action of said subject in said activity;
in one of said at least two cells, receiving a first indication from a user regarding a first specific image number corresponding to one of said plurality of discrete images;
in said one of said at least two cells, receiving a first estimate from said user regarding a first fraction of said first specific image number;
in the other of said at least two cells, receiving a second indication from said user regarding a second specific image number corresponding to another of said plurality of discrete images;
in said other of said at least two cells, receiving a second estimate from said user regarding a second fraction of said second specific image number.

Abstract
In a computer system, methods and computer-readable medium are disclosed for tracking motion of a subject in an activity captured by camera. The camera supplies pluralities of discrete images of the subject to a computing system environment. An event window, displayed on a monitor, has at least two cells for receiving a user input pertaining to an action of the subject in the activity. In a first of the two cells, the user indicates a specific image number corresponding to one of the plurality of discrete images and an estimate of a fractional percent thereof. In the second cell, the user indicates another specific image number and estimate of a fractional percentage thereof. Software calculates a delta between the specific image numbers and their corresponding estimated fractions. Scroll and position bars provide user-aid for navigating between discrete images. Example subjects include horses in a horse race activity while an action includes a horse stride length.

9. In a computer system, a method for tracking motion, comprising:
-
a) receiving a plurality of discrete images from a camera having captured a subject in an activity;
b) providing an event window having at least two cells for receiving a user input, each of said at least two cells pertaining to a single action of said subject in said activity, said event window further including a delta cell and a delta average cell;
c) in one of said at least two cells, receiving a first indication from a user regarding a first specific image number corresponding to one of said plurality of discrete images;
d) comparing said one of said plurality of discrete images and a first one larger discrete image to achieve a first estimate regarding a first fraction of said first specific image number;
e) in said one of said at least two cells, receiving said first estimate from said user;
in the other of said at least two cells, receiving a second indication from said user regarding a second specific image number corresponding to another of said plurality of discrete images;
f) comparing said another of said plurality of discrete images and a second one larger discrete image to achieve a second estimate regarding a second fraction of said second specific image number;
g) in said other of said at least two cells, receiving said second estimate from said user; and
h) wherein said first indication and said first estimate together equal a first entry and said second indication and said second estimate together equal a second entry, displaying a difference between said first entry and said second entry in said delta cell. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
