Most important stroke types--syntax (Australia) - machine learning project
Hi badminton fans,
I'm working on a machine learning project to develop a badminton auto-grader.
As part of the project I need to define the stroke categories that the model will consider. The only problem is I don't know much at all about badminton.
Could anybody help me to identify the stroke types considered 'significant'? This would be even more helpful if you're Australian, since I imagine terminology varies a little globally.
I've looked around a little and see huge variety in stroke categories recognised in datasets and training manuals.
If anybody could help me to identify which strokes are the most important definitions within my options here, including which can be sensibly combined without anyone feeling like the feedback becomes useless, that would be great!
For reference, I've been working off the ShuttleSet dataset, which contains these stroke categories:
| net_shot | return_net | smash |
|---|---|---|
| clear | lob | wrist_smash |
| drive | driven_flight | back_court_drive |
| drop | passive_drop | defensive_return_lob |
| push | rush | defensive_return_drive |
| cross_court_net_shot | short_service | long_service |
More specifically, I've been using a couple of collapsed variants of this dataset that identify strokes a bit more broadly:
ShuttleSet 14 strokes:
'net_shot', 'return_net', 'smash', 'wrist_smash',
'lob', 'clear', 'drive', 'drop',
'passive_drop', 'push', 'rush', 'cross_court_net_shot',
'short_service', 'long_service','net_shot', 'return_net', 'smash', 'wrist_smash',
'lob', 'clear', 'drive', 'drop',
'passive_drop', 'push', 'rush', 'cross_court_net_shot',
'short_service', 'long_service',
and ShuttleSet 12 strokes:
'net_shot', 'return_net', 'smash', 'lob',
'clear', 'drive', 'drop', 'push',
'rush', 'cross_court_net_shot', 'short_service', 'long_service','net_shot', 'return_net', 'smash', 'lob',
'clear', 'drive', 'drop', 'push',
'rush', 'cross_court_net_shot', 'short_service', 'long_service',
I could possibly use shots from another dataset, VideoBadminton, which describes the following:
| Short Serve | Cross Court Flight | Lift |
|---|---|---|
| Tap Smash | Block | Drop Shot |
| Push Shot | Transitional Slice | Cut |
| Rush Shot | Defensive Clear | Defensive Drive |
| Clear | Long Serve | Smash |
| Flat Shot | Rear Court Flat Drive | Short Flat Shot |
Again, if anybody could help, I'd very much appreciate it.
