Optic Yellow watches tennis so you don’t have to.
See it in action.
AO Final 2025
Where we’re going
Mapping coordinates
Exact X,Y positions for each ball bounce
Bounce and spin
Ball height, racquet direction, understanding the flight of the ball
Shot types
Slice, kick, lob. And every tweener in-between
How it works
Find the lines of the court
It fits a perfect court outline onto the broadcast picture.
Turn the video into a map
Four corners are enough to redraw the camera’s view as a top-down court.
Find the players
It draws a stick figure on every player and analyzes their poses.
Watch who serves
Follow the toss and the body postures for serving analysis
Be the line judge
Wide, at the body, or down the middle, the landing spot gets plotted for any shot.
Follow the ball
It follows the ball frame-by-frame.
Monitor every hit and bounce
It watches the ball trajectory.
Determine forehands or backhands
Use relative positioning to determine shot types.
Follow shot direction
Not just where the ball lands, but how it gets there.
Listen for clues
It gets some help from the video's sound too.
Determine how each point ends
In the net? Wide? Deep? Even double-bounces.
Read the scoreboard
If a score bug is available, it uses that for validation.
Segment the match into points
A three-hour broadcast can become a tidy stack of rallies.
