Abstract

A ski jumping flight analysis was attempted on the basis of the high-speed digital video image taken at Hakuba Ski Jumping Stadium in Japan. Initial 40m of flights of 120-m jumping after take-off were recorded by a fixed high-speed video camera at a frame rate of 250 frames/s. After some corrections, a number of time series data were extracted for the loci of key parts of a jumper such as the waist, the ski boots and the ski tip as well as for key angles representing a jumper posture such as the ski angle and the forward leaning angle. It is demonstrated that the aerodynamic force data during real jumping flights, in particular in the early phase of a flight can be derived from video image.
