An automatic system for sports analytics in multi-camera tennis videos

Abstract

This paper presents an automatic system which after a simple previous configuration is able to detect and track each one of the players on the court or field in single player sports. After that, the system is able to extract statistics and performance of the players. This system is complete, general and modular, to be improved and modified by future work. The system is based on a monocamera detection and tracking system, originally designed for video surveillance, which has been adapted for its use in the individual sports domain. Target sports of the developed system are individual sports (e.g., tennis, paddle tennis) where the players have its own side of the field.
