New EventNet system detects table tennis events using 2D keypoints

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed EventNet, a novel two-stage pipeline for automatically detecting key events in table tennis videos with frame-level accuracy. The system first extracts 2D keypoints of player poses, table corners, and the ball, processing them with a transformer to create a robust representation. This representation is then fed into a transformer encoder that predicts the proximity to the next and previous ball-racket contacts. The approach incorporates viewpoint and frame-rate augmentation for enhanced generalization, achieving high F1 scores on benchmark datasets. AI

IMPACT This research offers a more practical approach to analyzing sports videos, potentially improving automated sports analysis tools.

    Event Detection in Table Tennis Videos using 2D Keypoints

    arXiv:2610.08286v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper addresses the challenge of automatic, frame-accurate event detection in table tennis videos. Current methods for estimating 3d ball trajectories and ball spin typically require that key events, such as ball-racket contact…
