Triple jump at the Olympics Triple jump at the Olympics The triple jump at the Summer Olympics is grouped among the four track and field jumping events held at the multi-sport event. The men's triple jump has been present on the Olympic athletics programme since the first Summer Olympics in 1896. The women's triple jump is one of the more recent additions to the programme, having been first contested in 1996. It became the third Olympic jumping event for women after the high jump and long jump. The Olympic records for the event are for men, set by Kenny Harrison in 1996, and for women,
Step detection is the Potts model. It is given by the non-convex optimization problem The term formula_11 penalizes the number of jumps and the term formula_12 measures fidelity to data "x". The parameter γ > 0 controls the tradeoff between regularity and data fidelity. Since the minimizer formula_13 is piecewise constant the steps are given by the non-zero locations of the gradient formula_14. For formula_15 and formula_16 there are fast algorithms which give an exact solution of the Potts problem in formula_17. Step detection In statistics and signal processing, step detection (also known as step smoothing, step filtering, shift detection, jump detection
