Yoga Pose Detection Using Deep Learning
Yoga Pose Detection Using Deep Learning
Yoga pose detection holds significant importance in various aspects of the yoga
practice and its integration with technology. The importance of yoga lies in its
ability to promote physical health, mental well-being, stress reduction, improved
focus, emotional balance, resilience, spiritual growth, and a holistic approach to
life. With the increasing popularity of yoga, there is a growing need for
technological advancements to support practitioners and instructors in monitoring
and refining their practice. The paper begins by outlining the significance of
automated yoga pose detection, highlighting the potential benefits it offers in
providing real time feedback, enhancing self-correction, and optimizing
performance. It explores the existing literature on computer vision and machine
learning techniques applied to human pose estimation and their applicability to
yoga pose detection. Based on a thorough review of state-of-the-art methodologies,
the research paper proposes a yoga pose detection that combines multiple
modalities, including RGB images, depth maps, and skeletal joint data. The
proposed system leverages deep learning algorithms, such as convolutional neural
networks (CNNs) and long short-term memory (LSTM), to precisely recognize and
continuously monitor yoga poses. Moreover, the paper discusses the challenges
associated with pose variation, occlusion, and complex body movements within
yoga practice. It explores strategies for data augmentation, model optimization, and
Yoga is a popular exercise that enhances both physical and mental well-being
through various postures. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine
learning (ML) have created the opportunity to develop systems that can
automatically detect and classify yoga poses from visual input. This project, "Yoga
Pose Detection using Deep Learning" aims to accurately identify yoga poses
through image and webcam inputs, leveraging advanced machine learning
techniques and deep learning methodologies. Leveraging Python for backend
development, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for frontend design, and Flask as the
web framework, the application seamlessly integrates deep learning models for
robust pose detection.
Two distinct approaches are employed: the VGG16 convolutional neural network
model for static image-based detection, and the Support Vector Classifier (SVC)
within the Mediapipe framework for real-time webcam-based detection. The
Our application offers two modes of operation: image-based detection using the
VGG16 model and webcam-based detection using the SVC model in Mediapipe.
This dual-mode functionality enhances user experience, allowing for flexibility in
pose detection methods. The high accuracy rates of our models ensure reliable
performance, making this application a valuable tool for yoga practitioners and
enthusiasts seeking to improve their practice through technology.
