Abstract

This paper proposes an aerodynamic analysis of the shuttlecock and a novel method for predicting shuttlecock trajectory. First, we have established a shuttlecock track data set by an infrared-based binocular vision system. Then the unscented Kalman filter algorithm is designed to further filter the noise and visual recognition algorithm errors. Third, the radial basis function (RBF)-based track prediction model is designed. This method offers a concept to obtain the neural network model of different kinds of flying or moving objects. The experimental results show that the proposed method can predict the shuttlecock trajectory in real time at high accuracy and can be used for implementing the algorithm of return strategies in the near future.
