A review on badminton motion analysis

Abstract

Badminton is one of the most popular racket sports in Malaysia. In the past, badminton player movement analyses such as smashing, service, racket swing and shuttle trajectory etc. were mainly carried out qualitatively with substantial human involvement. In recent time, there is increasing assimilation of computer technology in badminton movement analysis as revealed by our review of the state-of-the-art researches. This paper aims to lay a solid foundation for the exploration of further research on badminton movement analysis. Three key areas reviewed were badminton smashing analysis, badminton service recognition, and badminton swing and shuttle trajectory analysis.
