This study proposes a simple method for multi-object tracking (MOT) of
players in a badminton court. We leverage two off-the-shelf cameras, one on the
top of the court and the other on the side of the court. The one on the top is
to track players' trajectories, while the one on the side is to analyze the
pixel features of players. By computing the correlations between adjacent
frames and engaging the information of the two cameras, MOT of badminton
players is obtained. This two-camera approach addresses the challenge of player
occlusion and overlapping in a badminton court, providing player trajectory
tracking and multi-angle analysis. The presented system offers insights into
the positions and movements of badminton players, thus serving as a coaching or
self-training tool for badminton players to improve their gaming strategies.
