BALL ROTATION DETECTION BASED ON ARBITRARY FEATURES

Abstract

This work presents an objective method to detect ball rotation in image sequences. We apply this method to objectively classify racket sports equipment. Therefore, we observe the ball impact on a racket and compare rotation differences detected prior to and after the impact. The method combines ball center tracking with surface corner tracking to calculate ball rotation. Because our method’s application has real-time constraints our rotation detection is fully automatic. The bottom line: Our experimental results enable racket classifications. Athletes and sports federations are therefore our stakeholders.
