Abstract: In order to acquire the starting condition of a springboard diver from the response curve, discrete wavelet transform is used to decompose the signal. A correlation algorithm based on time-frequency analysis is improved to estimate only the low frequency relative coefficients of similar signals which contains most energy. The moment of take-off can be caught, and the jumping acceleration and velocity are obtained. Moreover, shock spectrum of the board is figured out to obtain optimum pressing condition. Experimental results indicate that the method can be used to evaluate the jumping skill, which is useful in the training.
