New tennis event detection benchmark released with diverse video angles

Researchers have developed a new benchmark for detecting tennis events, such as ball bounces and racket hits, from video footage. This benchmark includes 345 frame-level annotations across various camera viewpoints, including broadcast, elevated, phone, and court-level perspectives. Existing supervised spotters perform well on broadcast footage but poorly on other angles, while a new arbitration layer, RallyArb, shows promise by maintaining a high bounce detection F1 score across different camera types, though it struggles with precise timing.

IMPACT This benchmark could advance computer vision models in sports analytics and event detection across diverse video sources.

    Can Event Detectors Leave the Broadcast Camera? Evidence from Tennis

    arXiv:2610.38042v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Ball bounces and racket hits are the events from which tennis statistics are derived, and on monocular video the two are easy to confuse. We release a benchmark of 345 bounce and hit annotations at frame level on eight clips that …
