The digital camera 115 may include an optical system that receives reflected light from an object to be photographed, a CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) for converting an optical signal of an image input through the optical system into an analog signal, which is an electrical signal, and converted by the CCD. A conventional digital camera having a signal processing unit for converting an analog signal into a digital signal, which photographs a measurer's prone push-up measurement operation, converts the digital image data into digital image data, and transmits the digital image data to the image recognition system. At this time, the digital camera 115 is positioned and fixed to the lower portion of the guide rod 110 so as to take a photograph of the whole body lying down to measure the push-ups.

The operation panel 120 is provided with ordinary buttons (switches) and is installed on the upper surface of the case 105 to control the operation of the digital camera 115 and the image recognition system to start and end the push-up measurement. Allow the operator to perform such operations.

The memory key 140 is a contact type removable storage device similar to a conventional flash memory. The personal key information such as the name, age, and gender of the individual measurer is stored according to each measurer to distinguish the measurer. In this case, when the input / output port 145 corresponding to the memory key 140 is installed adjacent to the operation panel 120 and the measurer connects his or her memory key 140 to the input / output port 145, the memory key 140 The personal information stored in) is read out to identify the current meter. In addition, the input / output port 145 records the same push-up measurement count calculated from the image recognition system in the memory key 145 when the push-up measurement is completed, so that the same push-up measurement device 100 is obtained. In other places that are installed allows the measurer to utilize the existing measurements stored in the memory key 140.

A guide groove 155 is formed on an upper surface of the case 105, and the display groove 155 is detachably coupled to the case 105 such that the display 150 faces the measurement person through the guide groove 155. At this time, the display 150, the user lying down to use the push-up measuring device 100, lying down, push-up measuring method, lying down push-up measuring device 100, and lying down push-up measurement results user To be displayed and displayed. In this case, the display 150 is preferably composed of a liquid crystal display (LCD).

The measuring mat 125 is installed at a predetermined distance from the measuring body 200 so that the side faces the digital camera 115 in consideration of the photographing angle and the focal length of the digital camera 115. In this case, one side of the first and second fixing bars 131 and 132 may be coupled to both sides of the upper surface of the measuring mat 125, respectively, and the first and the second sides of the first and second fixing bars 131 and 132. 2 holding bars (131, 132) is coupled to each other holding the gripping rods 135 to allow the measurer to lie down while holding the gripping rods 135 to measure push-ups.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating an image recognition system among the prone push-up measuring apparatus shown in FIG. 1.

1 and 4, the image recognition system 160 includes an image storage unit 165, an image comparison unit 170, a network means 175, and a controller 180.

The image storage unit 165 is a general-purpose storage device such as a hard disk, a RAM, or an optical disk device. The image storage unit 165 stores image data of a digital camera 115 photographing a measurer's prone push-up measurement operation. In addition, the image storage unit 165 stores standard motion data consisting of reference image data in which the position of the measurement mat 125 is photographed in advance through the digital camera 115 and standard posture data at the time of lying down. The image comparison unit 170 allows the data to be compared. Furthermore, the image storage unit 165 may store image information regarding the measurement precautions for the use of the push-up measuring device 100, the method of using the measuring device, and the like and output the information to the measurer through the display 150. Make sure

The image comparison unit 170 compares the image data photographed and input by the digital camera 115 and the standard push-up motion data stored in the image storage unit 165 to evaluate and measure the measurement posture of the measurer. Calculate the number of pushups. At this time, the method of comparing the data is a conventional image comparison method, extracting the intensity (luminance) value for the boundary of the image from the image data of the posture of the measuring person by the grid method (gird method), The difference data is generated by comparing the values with the contrast values of the standard attitude data. That is, it is determined whether or not the measurer's posture is appropriate by calculating whether the difference data falls within a preset error range. In the same way, when the measurer moves to the reference position, the measurer compares the contrast value of the corresponding image images with the contrast value of the reference image data, and uses the distance value for the preset unit pixel to measure the grip rod ( And counting the number of push-ups by lying down. For example, a boundary at which the y coordinate pixel value of the boundary value at which the grip rod 135 of the measurement mat 125 is located on the reference image data is 100 and the chest of the measurer is located on the image data captured by the digital camera 115. If the y-coordinate pixel value of the value is 120, the pixel difference is 20, the actual screen height is 100 cm, and the resolution of the image data is 480 x 640, the actual distance between the two boundary values is about 3 cm. At this time, if the error range of the distance that the chest of the measurer should be close to the gripping rod 135 is 5 cm or less, since the value is included in the error range, the number of push-ups is normally counted.

The network means 175 is a wired modem device, which transmits the personal information stored in the memory key 140 to the management server (not shown) together with the number of push-up measurements calculated by the image comparing unit 170. To be able. In this case, the measuring instrument main body 200 may be directly connected to the management server using the network means 175, or may be connected to a management server located at a remote location through a wired / wireless communication network such as a public telephone network, the Internet, a mobile communication network, a wired / wireless dedicated network, and the like. have.

In the present embodiment, the network means 175 is described as a wired modem device that is connected to a server system or an external communication network in a wired manner. However, the network means 175 may use a wireless communication device that is connected using a wireless communication such as Bluetooth or a mobile communication network. In addition, the memory key 140 has been described as a mobile storage device using a contact method, but may use a mobile storage device using a non-contact method such as radio frequency (RF) or infrared communication.

As described above, according to the lying-down push-up measuring device using the image data comparison according to the present invention, each image and the standard image recognized by the image recognition device and the image recognition device that can recognize the position and movement state of the measurer The structure can be simplified by using an image processing apparatus that can calculate the number of push-ups of a measurer by comparing the results. In addition, by using an image recognition device capable of recognizing the position and movement state of the measurer and an image processing device capable of calculating the number of push-ups of the measurer by comparing each image recognized by the image recognition device with a standard image. However, the number of push-ups can be measured automatically and accurately, regardless of the physical condition of the person.
