Abstract
A solution is provided to enhance motion detection and recognition of moving objects associated with various sports by intelligently embedding motion sensors into sport instruments such as tennis rackets, badminton rackets, baseball bats and golf clubs, that are swung in a three-dimensional (3D) space. The motion sensors embedded inside the sport instruments are securely locked and are detachable for replacement. A motion sensor inserted and locked inside a sport instrument is configured to detect motions associated with movements associated with the sport instrument. The motion parameters associated with the detected motion are collected through the embedded motion sensor and analyzed by a motion detection and recognition system. Based on the analysis of the motion parameters, various types of sports performance reports and performance improvement recommendations are generated for users of the sport instruments.
