How I use Computer Vision and Twilio to Guarantee Availability at Busy Public Tennis Courts

Jacob Witt describes how he developed a computer vision system to monitor public tennis court availability using a webcam and a Python script, despite having limited machine learning experience. He utilized Roboflow for data labeling and model training, creating a dataset with images captured over two days to account for varying conditions. The system identifies the presence of tennis players using labeled data and sends real-time notifications via Twilio when courts become available. Witt's project showcases an accessible approach to applying computer vision technology for personal use, demonstrating the potential for future enhancements like automating regular checks or expanding the system to cover multiple locations.
