The chiral nature of a badminton shuttlecock is responsible for its anti-clockwise spinning as it naturally propagates through the air. This induces a dissymmetry between left-handed and right-handed players and the resulting trajectories…
Performance metrics in sports, such as shot speed and angle, provide crucial feedback for athlete development. However, the technology to capture these metrics has historically been expensive, complex, and largely inaccessible to amateur…
Quantifying impact phenomena in badminton smashes is important for evaluating both athletic performance and equipment; however, conventional measurement systems involve trade-offs between temporal resolution, data efficiency, and…
Trajectory estimation is a fundamental component of racket sport analytics, as the trajectory contains information not only about the winning and losing of each point, but also how it was won or lost. In sports such as badminton, players…
Badminton, known for having the fastest ball speeds among all sports, presents significant challenges to the field of computer vision, including player identification, court line detection, shuttlecock trajectory tracking, and player…
This article introduces a novel approach to shuttlecock hitting event detection. Instead of depending on generic methods, we capture the hitting action of players by reasoning over a sequence of images. To learn the features of hitting…
Humanoid robots have demonstrated strong capabilities for interacting with static scenes across locomotion and manipulation, yet dynamic real-world interactions remain challenging. As a step toward fast-moving object interactions, we…
We consider the problem of the motion of a projectile thrown vertically upward from a surface. In addition to gravity, the drag force of the medium is taken into account, which is considered a quadratic function of the relative velocity of…
Coordinating the motion between lower and upper limbs and aligning limb control with perception are substantial challenges in robotics, particularly in dynamic environments. To this end, we introduce an approach for enabling legged mobile…
Sports professionals constantly under pressure to perform at the highest level can benefit from sports analysis, which allows coaches and players to reduce manual efforts and systematically evaluate their performance using automated tools.…
The increasing demand for analyzing the insights in sports has stimulated a line of productive studies from a variety of perspectives, e.g., health state monitoring, outcome prediction. In this paper, we focus on objectively judging what…
The influence of the force of the quadratic resistance of the medium on the change in some interesting characteristics of the motion of the projectile, which take place when the projectile moves in vacuum, is investigated. Loci that ensure…
Ball recognition and tracking have traditionally been the main focus of computer vision researchers as a crucial component of sports video analysis. The difficulties, such as the small ball size, blurry appearance, quick movements, and so…
In the competitive realm of sports, optimal performance necessitates rigorous management of nutrition and physical conditioning. Specifically, in badminton, the agility and precision required make it an ideal candidate for motion analysis…
Evaluating badminton performance often requires expert coaching, which is rarely accessible for amateur players. We present BadminSense, a smartwatch-based system for fine-grained badminton performance analysis using wearable sensing.…
A classic problem of the motion of a projectile thrown at an angle to the horizon in a medium with a quadratic resistance law is studied. An approximate analytical solution of the equations of projectile motion is presented, which has a…
A small and light polystyrene ball is released without initial speed from a certain height above the floor. Then, it falls on air. The main responsible for the friction force against the movement is the wake of successive air vortices which…
The CoachAI Badminton 2023 Track1 initiative aim to automatically detect events within badminton match videos. Detecting small objects, especially the shuttlecock, is of quite importance and demands high precision within the challenge. Such…
We define and investigate a successful third shot drop in pickleball using a numerical model of pickleball ball aerodynamics. Our overall objective is to investigate the ranges of initial speeds, angles and spins that result in a successful…
Identifying significant shots in a rally is important for evaluating players' performance in badminton matches. While there are several studies that have quantified player performance in other sports, analyzing badminton data is remained…
