Abstract: The smart mirror designed and developed in this study aims to help people who cannot receive professional guidance in completing the standardisation and correction of a series of actions, such as bodybuilding, yoga, and dance. Techniques such as the establishment and recognition of the kinect human motion model, 3D stereoscopic imaging, postural correction based on OpenCV, and the use of voice prompts have been applied to create this smart mirror. The final product is a physical smart mirror that displays corrective images, evaluates the user's actions, and provides helpful suggestions through voice prompts when a user performs actions while facing the mirror.

Keywords: smart mirror; image recognition; action comparison; kinect; smart home.
