We turn padel courts into smart courts. Two cameras watch each match; players open a shared page afterward to see their highlight clips and performance stats. We're hiring a freelancer to build the computer-vision models that make this work. The core challenge is the vision pipeline. From two camera feeds, you'll detect and track four players, hold a stable identity for each across a full match, map their movement into real court coordinates, and turn that motion into meaningful output — highlight clips and per-player stats. You own the models and the data they produce; our team builds the player-facing page on top. What you'll build: Player detection + multi-object tracking — YOLO-class detection with ByteTrack/DeepSORT-style tracking, maintaining stable per-player identity across occlusion and crossover Pose estimation — for gesture-based highlight triggers (e.g. a player holding a T-pose) Court mapping — homography from image plane to real court coordinates (OpenCV); auto-calibration from court lines is a plus Movement analytics — from ~5 Hz position tracks: heatmaps, zone-time, distance, and derived spatial stats Highlight extraction — 30-second clips triggered per side, packaged into a clean, documented per-match output (JSON + clips + heatmaps) Exploratory (bonus): rally segmentation and shot detection from motion — approaches open, best-effort. You should be strong in: modern object detection & multi-object tracking, pose estimation, camera calibration / homography, and turning noisy real-world tracking data into robust metrics. Python + OpenCV throughout. Deployment context: the pipeline runs on an NVIDIA Jetson processing real-time video, so comfort optimizing models for constrained hardware and working with RTSP/GStreamer is valued — the ML is the heart of the role, but you'll build it on the device. You should be at home working on a headless Linux box remotely over SSH (no GUI), moving code and files via scp, and running/debugging everything from the command line. Familiarity with the Jetson/JetPack stack (CUDA, TensorRT) is a plus. The rig is already built and remotely accessible; a full technical handoff goes to shortlisted candidates. To apply: share relevant CV/ML work and a short note on how you'd approach the detection → tracking → court-mapping chain

Hi I am an embedded AI systems engineer with over 16 years of experience. I have extensive experience building real-time computer vision pipelines with Python/OpenCV, YOLO-class detection, multi-object tracking, pose estimation, camera calibration/homography, and deployment on NVIDIA Jetson using CUDA/TensorRT, RTSP and GStreamer. For your smart padel court system, I would start by validating the two-camera geometry and calibration quality, then build the detection -> tracking chain with identity stabilization across occlusion/crossovers, smoothing and confidence handling so the downstream stats are not driven by noisy tracks. The court mapping would convert image tracks into real court coordinates, followed by movement analytics such as heatmaps, distance, zone-time and side/player stats. Highlight extraction can then be generated from pose triggers and motion events into a documented per-match package: JSON, clips and visual outputs. Relevant CV/ML projects I have worked on include real-time object/player tracking, embedded vision systems, camera calibration and production-grade Linux deployments; some client projects cannot be shared publicly, but I can discuss/show suitable examples privately after shortlisting. A few useful details to confirm would be camera placement, resolution/FPS, sample match footage, whether any annotated data exists, and the expected real-time latency on the Jetson. Please contact me to discuss details.

Hello, I reviewed your AI Vision Models for Smart Padel Courts project and it immediately stood out because real-time computer vision can transform padel courts with automated analytics, player tracking, and match insights. AI-based padel systems commonly use computer vision for ball tracking, player detection, event recognition, and performance analysis. Problem: Building a real-time vision system requires accurate ball tracking, player detection, event recognition, and low-latency processing under varying lighting conditions. Solution: I can develop AI vision models for player and ball tracking, court detection, shot/event recognition, pose estimation, and real-time analytics with optimized deployment. My experience includes Python, OpenCV, YOLO, TensorFlow, PyTorch, FastAPI, and computer vision. Result: You will receive a scalable, high-performance AI solution that delivers accurate analytics and a seamless smart court experience. A few questions: • Which features are required first—ball tracking, player tracking, line detection, or shot recognition? • Will the system run on edge devices (Jetson), cloud servers, or both? • How many cameras are installed per court, and what are their specifications? • Do you already have labeled training data, or should dataset preparation and model training be included? I can start immediately and provide regular progress updates throughout the project. Thanks

Your project to transform padel courts into smart arenas aligns perfectly with my 8 years of experience in Computer Vision and edge AI deployment. I specialize in building robust, real-time vision pipelines that convert raw video feeds into precise, actionable analytics. **Key Challenges & Technical Solutions** 1. **Identity Stability Under Occlusion:** Players frequently cross paths and block each other. Standard tracking often fails here. - *Solution:* I will implement a hybrid approach using YOLO for detection and DeepSORT or ByteTrack for association, enhanced with Re-ID features if needed. This ensures player IDs remain consistent even during short-term occlusions. 2. **Court Mapping Accuracy:** Mapping 2D video coordinates to real-world court positions requires precise calibration. - *Solution:* I will use OpenCV’s homography estimation. I’ll start with manual calibration using known court corners and add an auto-calibration layer that detects court lines to correct drift over time, ensuring accurate heatmap and distance calculations. 3. **Jetson Edge Constraints:** Running heavy models on NVIDIA Jetson without latency is tricky. - *Solution:* I will optimize models using TensorRT and FP16 precision. By batching processing and optimizing the GStreamer pipeline, we can maintain real-time performance (>25 FPS) while extracting high-fidelity pose and tracking data. **Proposed Roadmap** 1. **Data & Environment Setup:** Connect to the Jetson device, set up the Docker container with CUDA/TensorRT, and ingest sample RTSP streams. 2. **Detection & Tracking Core:** Deploy YOLO for player detection and integrate DeepSORT/ByteTrack for multi-object tracking. Validate identity stability across test clips. 3. **Court Homography & Calibration:** Implement OpenCV-based coordinate mapping. Validate accuracy by comparing tracked points against known court lines. 4. **Pose Estimation & Highlight Logic:** Add MediaPipe or BlazePose for gesture detection (e.g., T-pose for serves). Define trigger logic for highlight extraction based on game events. 5. **Analytics Output Generation:** Develop the script to produce JSON stats (distance, heatmaps, zone time) and extract 30-second highlight clips per side. 6. **Optimization & Handoff:** Profile the pipeline on Jetson, optimize using TensorRT, and document the codebase for your team’s integration. **Relevant Skills** ✔ **Core CV:** Object Detection (YOLO), Multi-Object Tracking (DeepSORT, ByteTrack), Pose Estimation (MediaPipe, OpenPose) ✔ **Computer Vision Tools:** OpenCV, Homography, Camera Calibration, GStreamer, RTSP ✔ **Edge AI Deployment:** NVIDIA Jetson, TensorRT, CUDA, Docker, Linux Shell Scripting ✔ **Backend & Data:** Python, FastAPI (for API endpoints), JSON Structuring, Data Pipelines ✔ **Analytics:** Heatmap Generation, Spatial Statistics, Time-Series Data Processing **Next Steps** I am confident in delivering a robust vision pipeline tailored for your Jetson hardware. If you’d like, I can prepare a lightweight 48-hour demo showing player detection and basic tracking on a sample video to validate the approach before we proceed.

Hi, this is Joshua from Davis. I have strong experience building Python vision systems with OpenCV and edge deployment. I understand you need a robust pipeline for two camera feeds, from detection to tracking to court mapping and match output. The goal is stable player identities, real court positions, and useful clips and stats. I can build a practical model stack that turns noisy match video into reliable per match results. I would use YOLO for player detection, ByteTrack or DeepSORT for identity tracking, and pose cues for gesture triggers. Then I would add homography based court mapping, smooth the 5 Hz tracks, and export JSON, clips, and heatmaps in a clean format. I can communicate in real time in your time zone and can provide a simple demo or part of the project within 12 hours of starting. Q1: What camera angles and resolutions are the two feeds using? Q2: Do you already have labeled video for players, court lines, or poses? Q3: Should highlight triggers rely only on pose, or also on rally and motion patterns? Best, Joshua

Hey! Smart padel court vision pipeline — player detection, tracking, court mapping, highlight extraction, and stats on a Jetson. This is exactly the kind of end-to-end CV build I enjoy. My approach to the detection → tracking → court-mapping chain: - YOLO (v8/v9) for player detection, ByteTrack for multi-object tracking — ReID embeddings to hold stable identity through occlusions and player crossovers across both camera feeds - Pose estimation via YOLOv8-pose or RTMPose for gesture-based highlight triggers, lightweight enough for Jetson - Homography via OpenCV with court line auto-detection for calibration — robust across lighting changes mid-match - ~5Hz position tracks fed into heatmaps, zone-time, distance covered, and spatial stats per player - 30-second highlight clips triggered per side, packaged as JSON + clips + heatmaps per match For Jetson deployment — TensorRT export for all models, GStreamer for RTSP ingestion, everything headless over SSH. I'm comfortable in that environment. I already have relevant work to share — I've built a padel court tracking system including ball tracking which maps directly to this scope. Happy to share the video with you now so you can see the output quality before deciding. Want me to send it across?
