RESUMO
Taekwondo has evolved from a traditional martial art into an official Olympic sport. This study introduces a novel action recognition model tailored for Taekwondo unit actions, utilizing joint-motion data acquired via wearable inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors. The utilization of IMU sensor-measured motion data facilitates the capture of the intricate and rapid movements characteristic of Taekwondo techniques. The model, underpinned by a conventional convolutional neural network (CNN)-based image classification framework, synthesizes action images to represent individual Taekwondo unit actions. These action images are generated by mapping joint-motion profiles onto the RGB color space, thus encapsulating the motion dynamics of a single unit action within a solitary image. To further refine the representation of rapid movements within these images, a time-warping technique was applied, adjusting motion profiles in relation to the velocity of the action. The effectiveness of the proposed model was assessed using a dataset compiled from 40 Taekwondo experts, yielding remarkable outcomes: an accuracy of 0.998, a precision of 0.983, a recall of 0.982, and an F1 score of 0.982. These results underscore this time-warping technique's contribution to enhancing feature representation, as well as the proposed method's scalability and effectiveness in recognizing Taekwondo unit actions.
RESUMO
This study describes the synthesis of germanium and tin complexes Ge(mdpaS)2 (1), Ge(edpaS)2 (2), Ge(bdpaS)2 (3), Ge(empaS)2 (4), Sn(mdpaS)2 (5), Sn(edpaS)2 (6), Sn(bdpaS)2 (7), and Sn(empaS)2 (8) (mdpaSH = (Z)-N-methoxy-2,2-dimethylpropanimidothioic acid; edpaSH = (Z)-N-ethoxy-2,2-dimethylpropanimidothioic acid; bdpaSH = (Z)-N-(tert-butoxy)-2,2-dimethylpropanimidothioic acid; empaSH = (Z)-N-ethoxy-2-methylpropanimidothioic acid), using newly designed N-alkoxy thioamide ligands as precursors for metal chalcogenide materials. All complexes were characterized using various analytical techniques, and the single-crystal structures of complexes 5 and 7 revealed a distorted seesaw geometry in the monomeric SnL2 form. Thermogravimetric (TG) curves showed differences between Ge compounds, which exhibited single-step weight losses, and Sn compounds, which exhibited multistep weight losses. As a result, we suggest that the synthesized complexes 1-8 are potential precursors for group IV metal chalcogenide materials.
