Automatic tennis stroke recognition can help tennis
players improve their training experience. Previous work
has used sensors positions on both wrist and tennis racket,
of which different physiological aspects bring different
sensing capabilities. However, no comparison of the
performance of both positions has been done yet. In this
paper we comparatively assess wrist and racket sensor
positions for tennis stroke detection and classification.
We investigate detection and classification rates with 8
well-known stroke types and visualize their differences in
3D acceleration and angular velocity. Our stroke detection
utilizes a peak detection with thresholding and windowing
on the derivative of sensed acceleration, while for our
stroke recognition we evaluate different feature sets and
classification models. Despite the different physiological
aspects of wrist and racket as sensor position, for a
controlled environment results indicate similar performance
in both stroke detection (98.5%-99.5%) and user-dependent
and independent classification (89%-99%).
