Understanding Skiing Performance through Automated Video Analysis

In this article, we explore the use of bounding-boxes to represent visual attributes in image labeling tasks. We explain why bounding-boxes are a sufficient representation for computational processes in these tasks and how they simplify the labeling process by only requiring a rectangle to highlight the area covered by an athlete’s appearance.
We also provide details on the evaluation procedures implemented to ensure the accuracy of the labeled bounding boxes. Our evaluation is based on the common working mechanism of including the athlete’s body and equipment within the labeled bounding box. We explain how this approach enables efficient methods for labeling images while demystifying complex concepts by using everyday language and engaging metaphors or analogies to capture the essence of the article without oversimplifying.
In summary, this article demonstrates that using bounding-boxes as a representation for visual attributes in image labeling tasks is an effective and efficient approach. By simplifying the labeling process and ensuring accurate evaluations, bounding-boxes make it possible to develop more efficient methods for these tasks.
