Abstract
Several different methods exist to measure jump height, but each has its own limitations.
This work proposes a novel way to measure jump height directly, using optical tracking with a single smartphone camera.
A parabolic fall trajectory is obtained from this video by tracking a single feature.
The parabolic trajectory is then used to partially calibrate the camera and convert pixel measurements into real-world units, allowing the calculation of the achieved height.
Comparison to an optical motion capture system yields promising results.
