Accuracy · the evidence contract

VaultLab produces pose-derived angles and calibrated distance estimates from one side-on video. It is built for repeatable coaching evidence—not laboratory certainty from a phone.

01 · Real-world scale

Two known lengths
anchor the frame.

Dallin’s standing height and the crossbar create vertical scale. The recorded run provides context. Perspective still matters, so confidence follows the geometry.

02 · Metric confidence

Not every number
deserves equal weight.

Each report should tell the coach whether to trust the exact value, the direction of change, or only the phase-level pattern.

Angle

Top-arm extension

High

Both tracked endpoints are usually visible; scale does not affect the angle.

Angle

Max trunk inversion

High

A second pose model agreed within about 10–11° on average across eight checked jumps.

Angle

Takeoff angle

Good

Geometric, but the plant and pole occlude joints at the exact takeoff frame.

Angle

Pole angle

Good

Tracked separately from pose; busy backgrounds can weaken the pole line.

Rate

Approach speed

Good

Frame timing is exact; real-world displacement depends on camera perspective.

Distance

Grip + finish height

Good

Vertical measurements sit near the known crossbar reference.

Distance

Takeoff distance

Directional

Horizontal depth carries more perspective error than vertical height.

Distance

Under / free position

Directional

Trust direction and session change more than the exact inch count.

03 · Independent model check

Same jumps.
Different pose model.

Eight jumps were also run through RTMPose. The two systems agreed on the coaching classification—finished or stalled—on every checked jump. Their inversion angles differed by roughly 10–11° on average.

Agreement between two models is not ground truth. It reduces the risk of a single-model hallucination; it does not replace physical validation.

04 · Physical validation

The error table
is still being earned.

A ground-truth study will compare taped takeoff position, measured grip, recorded bar height and video-only output jump by jump. Until that study is complete, VaultLab publishes qualitative confidence—not invented percentages or sub-degree claims.
