Abstract
A competitive sport match is like a war between the two contestants, not only for physical skills but also mental strategies. Since large datasets are generated players every time they compete, we can use a player’s historical performance to derive his or her tactics when facing different situation and opponent. In order to win competitions at worldwide level, coaches and athletes must acquire a clear understanding of an athlete’s strength and weaknesses in skills and tactics during competitions, and this will help the athlete continue to improve and excel at the sport by training through proper way.
With the development of computer science and technology, there are some data mining techniques that help sport game analysis. However, as interesting as an athlete’s sport performance is, visualization techniques that helps people find patterns and characteristics on players’ performance is still relatively sparse. In addition, current sport statistics only record final score at game level, and the step by step performance of the player throughout the game remains hidden. Thus, inspired by information visualization techniques, we focused on racket competitive sports and proposed several representations that can help visualize an athlete’s performance in matches, like how the player earns a score. With our visualization system, we can observe all the games played by the athlete to interpret the athlete’s performance, improvement, and tactics adjusting across game-play timeline and be able to compare multiple players’ characteristics.
