| Signal | Details |
|---|---|
| Timeline | Dec 2025 to Feb 2026 |
| Organization | Enhanced Robotics / Tenniix |
| Focus | Temporal 3-Frame Tennis Ball Detection System |
| Stack | YOLOv8 |
Architecture
- Modified YOLOv8 into a 3-in / 3-out multi-frame pipeline.
- Used motion cues across consecutive frames to improve tiny ball detection.
- Tuned the detector for active moving balls while suppressing static or irrelevant balls.
Impact
Improves downstream sports analytics by making small, fast-moving tennis balls easier to track reliably.
