Hi, I am a final year student whos doing engineering degree. My final year project involves tracking the speed of a swimmer inside a pool.
The current problem is that i don't have a good way of monitoring the swimmer's speed, which needs to be quite accurate(centimeters). Due to different stroke patterns and unregular shape of human body, it is very hard to find a way of getting the swimmer's speed during motion.
I've been thinking about infrared sensors, ultra sonic sensors and also other methods.
Is there any way of using sensors wisely and place them the right way so that i can accurately get the motion of the C.O.M. of the swimmer OR the mid-point of the body length?
Very appreciated for any suggestions or ideas.
