How accurate is Baseline?Updated 2 days ago

Below are some of the most common questions we get about the accuracy of training and tournament setups.

If you have a question that's not listed here, reach out to [email protected]. 

Will shade on court affect accuracy?

High contrast in the camera's frame might impact the quality of the calibration, since one or more lines might stay undetected. 

That said, the camera doesn't need all the lines to calibrate and extrapolates on the missing lines, so this shouldn't be a problem in most cases. 

Will shots from neighboring courts interfere with tracking?

The camera is calibrated to detect one court and ignore activity outside that court zone.

How accurate are the speed / net measurements?

This can depend greatly on lighting, environment, and speed. To be safe, we can confidently say our measurements are within 5% of our reference.

How accurate is the camera's line calling?

This single-cam setup is primarily designed for providing real-time stats and gamified drills. However, it can be used for line calling for practice or informal matches. We can confirm this setup is at least 2x more accurate than the human eye for 95% of calls. 

If your main use case is line calling or you are a tournament organiser: We recommend choosing our dual cam system instead, which is designed specifically for electronic line calling.  

Using two cameras improves line calling accuracy, as Baseline receives two different viewpoint and can rely on the camera with the better view for close calls.

For training and statistics: A single camera provides the level of accuracy expected by most players, coaches, and clubs.
