AI-based swim assistance system

Description of the assistance system: A camera on a tripod aligned horizontally to the edge of the pool recognises the swimmers using artificial intelligence (AI). When crossing a pre-defined distance to the edge of the pool, the swimmers receive auditory feedback via Bluetooth bone conduction headphones. The distance of this virtual line to the edge of the pool can be defined in advance when calibrating the system.
