Implementation of an Intelligent Real-Time Squat Detection and Performance Evaluation System Using Computer Vision and Pose Estimation Techniques
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Computer Vision in Sports and Fitness

Abstract
The growing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision in fitness and healthcare has enabled new possibilities for real-time movement tracking and automated performance evaluation. This research introduces AI Squat Sense, an intelligent, real-time squat detection and assessment system designed to monitor and enhance exercise performance. The system employs OpenCV for video acquisition and image processing, and MediaPipe Pose for extracting skeletal landmarks. By analyzing joint angles at the hip, knee, and ankle, AI Squat Sense accurately determines squat depth, counts repetitions, and evaluates posture quality. A graphical user interface (GUI) developed using Tkinter and ttkbootstrap ensures ease of use, offering real-time visual and auditory feedback through optional modules like pyttsx3 and simpleaudio. Experimental results demonstrate over 95% detection accuracy under normal lighting with minimal computational delay. The proposed system provides a cost-effective, accessible, and robust solution for fitness tracking, rehabilitation, and sports performance optimization, bridging the gap between personal fitness tools and intelligent motion analysis technologies.
