The diploma thesis describes the technology in tennis, the development of its own system for determining the position of two players on the tennis court, the hardware and software of the system, as well as the accuracy measurements of the system and the analysis of the measurements.
The aim of the thesis is to describe the development of a system for determining the position of two tennis players when the tennis ball is hit. With the data obtained from the system, tennis players can help themselves in improving their movement and analysing their tennis game.
The introduction describes the current technologies in tennis and the reason for creating your system. The system plan follows, in which the operation of the developed system is briefly described. The thesis continues by describing the selected hardware, UWB technology, software tools and code. The Pozyx creator kit is used to determine the position, which uses UWB technology for positioning. To detect the impact of a tennis ball, I used a sensor system developed in the Laboratory of Information Technologies. IMU sensors are built into the sensor system, on the basis of which the detection of the ball’s impact works. The software tools used are Arduino IDE and LabView. I created a LabView desktop application for receiving, processing and storing data. Finally, system measurements and a comparison of positioning accuracy are presented, where the professional Qualisys system is used as the reference system. This is followed by an analysis of the measurements and a conclusion, where I tell what I learned, where the system can be improved and the future of UWB technology.
