• Authors: Sameer Agrawal, Ragoth Sundararajan, Vishak Sagar,
• Abstract summary: We propose numerous improvements and enhancements to the Hough-Line-Detection algorithm. Compared to the original algorithm, our method can accurately detect lines on amateur, dirty courts. When combined with a robust ball-tracking system, our method will enable accurate, automatic refereeing for amateur and professional tennis matches alike.

• Abstract: Typically, tennis court line detection is done by running Hough-Line-Detection to find straight lines in the image, and then computing a transformation matrix from the detected lines to create the final court structure. We propose numerous improvements and enhancements to this algorithm, including using pretrained State-of-the-Art shadow-removal and object-detection ML models to make our line-detection more robust. Compared to the original algorithm, our method can accurately detect lines on amateur, dirty courts. When combined with a robust ball-tracking system, our method will enable accurate, automatic refereeing for amateur and professional tennis matches alike.

  Linear objects convey substantial information about document structure. Many approaches can recover some vector representation, but only one closed-source technique introduced in 1994. We propose a framework for accurate instance segmentation of linear objects in document images using Multiple Object Tracking.

  A single camera setup positioned in the umpire's view has been employed to procure a dataset consisting of six stroke classes executed by four professional table tennis players. Ball tracking using YOLOv4, a traditional object detection model, and TrackNetv2, a temporal heatmap based model, have been implemented on our dataset. A mathematical approach developed to extract temporal boundaries of strokes using the ball trajectory data yielded a total of 2023 valid strokes. The temporal convolutional network developed performed stroke recognition on completely unseen data with an accuracy of 87.155%.

  Line segments are increasingly used in vision tasks. Traditional line detectors based on the image gradient are extremely fast and accurate, but lack robustness in noisy images and challenging conditions. We propose to combine traditional and learned approaches to get the best of both worlds: an accurate and robust line detector.

  The authors present a novel face tracking approach where optical flow information is incorporated into a modified version of the Viola Jones detection algorithm. In the original algorithm, detection is static, as information from previous frames is not considered. The proposed tracker preserves information about the number of classification stages passed by each window.
