ABSTRACT In this paper we present an innovative and novel system fortennis performance analysis that allows coaches to reviewa player’s match performance and provide detailed audio-visual feedback to the athlete. The system utilises a simplenetwork of low-cost IP cameras that encompass the tenniscourt. A graphical user interface provides coaches with videoplayback feeds from multiple viewpoints, a range of intuitivetools for 2D and 3D annotation, real-time game statisticsand the facility for a coach to record audio commentary.This system is specifically designed with non-professionalsports clubs in mind, with an emphasis on low-cost equip-ment. While we focus on tennis in this work, we believe oursystem can be generalised to a wide range of other sports.
