GEOVISUALIZING SPATIO-TEMPORAL PATTERNS IN TENNIS: An Alternative Approach to Post-match Analysis
@damiendemaj : Geospatial Product Engineer
PART 1 of 4 Identify the visual structure of each serve pattern using K. Means algorithm tool in ArcGIS.
K. MEANS Algorithm Allows user to define similarity of serves by attribute (direction of serve) and number of groups. Federer = 11 Murray = 10
PART 2 of 4 Arrange the data into a temporal sequence to see who served with more spatial variation. Temporal sequence = service box, point #, shot #, game #, set #
Create
EUCLIDEAN LINES p1 (x1,y1) and p2 (x2,y2), p2 (x2,y2) and p3 (x3,y3), p3 (x3,y3) and p4 (x4,y4) etc
in each service court location
LARGE MEAN EUCLIDEAN distance = more spatial serve variation Small mean Euclidean distance = less spatial serve variation
PART 3 of 4 Tag the most ‘important’ serves Most important points in tennis: 30-40 and 40-Ad

METHOD SUMMARY
1. Visual analytics
2. Introduced K Means Algorithm
3. Euclidean distances
4. Feature overlay
WRAP UP GIS provided an effective means to geovisualize spatio-temporal sports data. Reveal potential new patterns within sport.
