The Machine Vision exploration project of my Computational Robotics course, my partner and I chose to explore mountain bike ride mapping from POV video footage!
The first iteration of handlebar tracking, using the rider's gloves to create a contour and tracking the angle between the left and right gloves.
What we ended up using, a tracker around each end of the handlebar to create bounding boxes and calculating the center of this box to generate the angle of the handlebars.
An example of a map we generated from our video data compared to GoPro GPS data!
