AI Tennis Video Analysis for Smarter Coaching and Strategy
Leverage AI tennis video analysis to automate line calling, analyze serve and stroke biomechanics, and generate real-time match insights, without expensive hardware or complex setups.
Why "Smart Courts" Are Hard to Scale
Elite tournaments use 10-camera hardware setups like Hawk-Eye. But for club-level analytics or mobile apps, that infrastructure is impossible. Relying on hardware creates three blockers:
The Infrastructure Cost
Installing permanent cameras and sensors costs $20k-$50k per court. Our Vision-Based AI runs on portable iPhones or standard security cameras, lowering the barrier to entry.
The "Blur" Problem
A tennis ball moves at 130mph. Standard cloud AI sees a blur, not a ball. We train custom High-Velocity Object Detectors that predict the ball's path between frames.
Manual Charting
Coaches still use pen and paper to track unforced errors. Our AI automates the "Match Report," categorizing Forehand vs. Backhand winners instantly.
The Data Fragmentation Problem
Player performance data is often scattered across videos, notes, and separate tools. Our AI unifies video, biomechanics, and match stats into a single, structured dashboard—making analysis seamless and actionable.
Solutions for the Tennis Ecosystem
From "pocket coaching" for apps to automated officiating for clubs.
Automated Line Calling (ELC)
For "Smart Court" startups. We build logic that tracks the ball's impact point relative to the court lines with <5mm margin of error, triggering audio "Out" calls automatically.
Serve & Stroke Biomechanics
For coaching apps. Users record a serve, and our AI analyzes Knee Bend, Racket Drop, and Contact Height, comparing the skeleton against pro benchmarks to prevent injury.
Match Strategy & Heatmaps
For academies. We track player positioning to generate "Court Coverage" heatmaps and "Serve Placement" charts, revealing tactical patterns that simple video replay misses.
Tracking 130mph serves with software, not sensors.
How We Engineer the Perfect Call
Step 1: Temporal Trajectory Logic
A camera running at 60fps might miss the exact millisecond of the bounce. We use Physics-Based Interpolation to draw the curve between frames and calculate the precise impact point.
Step 2: Court Calibration (Homography)
We automatically detect the white lines to create a virtual 3D grid. This allows the AI to understand "In" vs. "Out" regardless of camera angle or height.
Step 3: Action Recognition
Our skeletal tracking identifies the shot type (Slice, Topspin, Volley) by analyzing the player's swing path and body posture.
Step 4: Event Classification
The Logic Layer combines ball position + player action to score the point (e.g., "Winner," "Unforced Error," "Ace").

FAQ SECTION
Frequently asked questions
For official ATP use? No (Hawk-Eye uses 10+ synchronized high-speed cameras). For training, club matches, and coaching apps? Yes. Our single-camera solutions offer 98% accuracy for recreational play.
Yes. We train our models on different surface colors and line contrasts to ensure the ball is detected against red clay, blue hard court, or green grass.
Yes. We operate as your engineering partner. You own the custom model, the code, and the dataset. You are building your own IP asset.
We estimate "Effective Spin" based on the trajectory curve (Magnus Effect). Direct spin measurement usually requires radar, but our vision-based estimate is sufficient for coaching.
