Current Research Topics

Fight Analyser

Fight Analyser
Based on a 4-camera video review system with 3D segmental detection software, fight actions in boxing should be analyzed and categorized (e.g. Punch to the head).

This project includes:

  • Image analysis
  • Pattern analysis
  • Machine learning
  • Data collection
  • Data visualization

Master Thesis or Dissertation

JudgED Intervention

JudgED Intervention
A novel serious game for training of Combat Sports referees should be evaluated in the field using an in-game and real live pre- and posttest setting, with a training intervention between the tests. For the field test, Sportdata logfiles must be analysed and compared to the in-game test.

This project includes:

  • Log-file analysis
  • Data collection
  • Statistical Analysis

Bachelor Thesis or Master Thesis

Serious Game with Smart Boxing Glove (RDα)

Serious Game with Smart Boxing Glove (RDα)
A serious game, using smart boxing gloves (RDα) should be developed.

This project includes:

  • App development
  • Data analysis
  • Opt. Machine Learning
  • (RDα) integration

Bachelor Thesis or Master Thesis

Performance & Health Diagnostics

Serious Game with Smart Boxing Glove (RDα)
An integrative application designed to store and evaluate individual performance & health data, following an evidence-based workflow for diagnostic tasks.

This project includes:

  • App development
  • Statistical analysis
  • Data visualization

Master Thesis
