3D Pose Ensemble Beats RGB for Cricket Shot Classification
New framework uses 3D pose estimation instead of RGB video for cricket shot classification, eliminating sensitivity to camera angle, lighting, and background clutter. Pose-based approach generalizes better across environments—directly applicable to sports analytics, action recognition, and any domain where body/object kinematics matter more than appearance.
