Baseline reconstruction + 16 Aug 2026 progression update

Muscle-up
digital twin.

The original three-attempt baseline remains reconstructed frame by frame below. New footage now shows three full turnovers to stable support; the current bottleneck is repeatability across later attempts.

NEW / 16 AUG 2026

Three first-attempt successes. Seven attempts, three clips, one repeatability pattern.

02 / Performance diagnosis

What stopped the transition

Each conclusion is tied to a timestamped metric and bounded by what one oblique camera can support.

Four-panel comparison of chest height, velocity, elbow asymmetry and power proxy
Attempt-level comparison. Power is a COM-derived proxy.
Timing of upward velocity, knee tuck, COM peak and elbow flexion
All attempts complete elbow flexion after peak body height.
Center-of-mass trajectories for three attempts
Camera-stabilized, tracked-bar-relative COM paths; color runs start to finish.
Sensitivity ranges for key metrics
Sensitivity to smoothing, ±7% image scale, and tracked-bar centerline uncertainty.
Camera translation, rotation, zoom, bar height and bar slope diagnostics
Measured handheld-camera motion and active grip-bar trajectory across the full recording.
Chronological source frames with the tracked sloped grip bar overlaid
Visual audit: the tracked centerline follows the perspective-sloped bar actually gripped in every shown frame.
03 / Scene depth

Relative depth + segmentation

Depth Anything V2 estimates per-frame relative inverse depth. Color is normalized independently for each frame and is not metres.

Do not compare depth colors across timestamps. Each view is independently normalized; it supports scene layering and a visualization-only point cloud, not metric travel.

04 / Frame evidence

Key movement events

Knee tuck, maximum COM height, and minimum elbow angle for each trial.

05 / Scientific honesty

Measured, modeled, proxied

The twin is useful because its boundaries are visible—not hidden.
