Sessions
Through single-camera tennis match footage, via a YOLO-driven computer vision system, and culminating in actionable insights for strength and conditioning coaches, the Dutch Tennis Federation offers a pathway for creating tennis data and insights. In our presentation, we will delve into technical specifications and algorithms of our system, navigate through the challenges of working with tennis video footage, and elaborate on our approach to actively engage coaches in our co-creation approach. After the presentation, you will have a deeper understanding of the intricate workings behind implementing such system in a competitive tennis environment. All output of the project will be presented on Github.
