Fujitsu’s high-precision skeleton acknowledgment AI embraced to boost figure skating professional athlete training
KAWASAKI, Japan, July 5, 2025-(JCN Newswire )-Fujitsu Limited today revealed that its high-precision skeleton acknowledgment AI innovation, which allows the digitization of three-dimensional human motions, has actually been embraced for usage by the Japan Skating Federation. The innovation will be utilized to examine and boost the training of figure skating professional athletes at a training school to be held at the National Training Center, situated at Kansai Airport Ice Arena, from July 3 – 5.
Standard movement capture innovation is not practical for training functions due to the lengthy setup, sluggish outcome output, and constraints in the variety of efficiencies that can be examined. Markerless movement capture innovation, which relies on basic video footage for analysis in figure skating, deals with difficulties in precisely examining intricate motions such as dives and spins due to posture discrepancies and misrecognition. The Japan Skating Federation picked Fujitsu’s skeleton acknowledgment AI innovation, established considering that 2016 in the hectic and complicated field of gymnastics, since of its high accuracy and its capability to show analysis lead to real-time.
Other functions
- Innovation based upon the world’s very first and just internationally-recognized AI gymnastics scoring system
- Exclusive correction algorithms substantially lower jitter (evaluation mistake) in posture acknowledgment, formerly an obstacle in image analysis utilizing deep knowing
- Photorealistic innovation creates big quantities of training information, reducing the knowing duration substantially. Procedures that generally needed months of manual labor can now be automated and finished within a matter of hours.
Future Plans
Fujitsu intends to broaden usage of its high-precision skeleton acknowledgment AI innovation beyond the sports market into locations such as work analysis in production, early illness detection in health care, and the usage of analytical information in the home entertainment sector.
Under Fujitsu Uvance, Fujitsu’s cross-industry organization design to attend to social concerns, Fujitsu will continue to advance individuals’s wellness in society through making use of information and AI, in partnership with Uvance partners.

I hope this effort will result in the enhancement of competitive strength and the additional advancement of the skating world.”
Yohsuke Takeuchi, Director/Chair of High Performance Figure Skating, Japan Skating Federation, remarks:
“The Japan Skating Federation carries out analysis of athletes’ jump performance. Marker-based 3D analysis equipment presents significant challenges, including the inability to analyze during trials and the significant time required for analysis, which delays feedback to athletes. We expect that Fujitsu’s high-precision skeleton recognition AI technology and its rapid output of results will solve these problems and contribute to the swift improvement of athletes’ competitive performance. The Japan Skating Federation will further expand the application of this technology and consider its use for motion analysis during competitions as part of its ongoing efforts to utilize cutting-edge technology to improve athletic performance and enhance fan engagement.”
