Experiences with video analysis software for target archery training?
I'm looking for suggestions for video analysis software for training.
Preferably something that
- can handle multiple camera streams at once.
- can run without internet access or a subscription. (it's for a clubhouse and I don't want to send video of the kids, or other training data, online).
- doesn't require a PhD in robotics to set up.
The solution I imagine is two or more cameras filming an archer. The software shall record the training, and allow the archer to playback multiple synchronized streams simultaneously while adding tracking points and displaying data like angles, distance and speed.
I can find several different solutions. But before putting all our eggs in a single basket with the FOSS solution kinovea or utilus fairplay, I want to hear what others have tried.
Edit: IDK first interaction this post got was getting down voted, I guess that it's relevance to archery was unclear, so I edited the title to mitigate this.
Coming across this now, did you ever explore options?
Sorry, I haven't had the time to do any actual testing.
My analysis is presently, that multiple synchronized streams are more important than overlaying drawings. I had an idea of stitching the video streams into a 3d scene, but then I talked to some acquaintances of mine, who explore XR for academic uses... They had no knowledge of software that would do it on the fly. So that idea is dead for now.
Kinovea is interesting, but it seems cumbersome to use for the uninitiated. Especially the synchronization part. So I'm still considering my options. Maybe I'll figure out a way to record all cameras in one video file, like multiplayer on a playstation, and then load that into kinovea.
Thanks! I may investigate some, too, we shall see.
