摘要

This paper presents an integrated software and hardware solution leveraging machine learning (ML) techniques and wearable sensor technologies to automate athletic talent assessment. Referred to as the Machine Learning-based Athlete Talent Recognition (ML-ATR) system, ML-ATR addresses limitations of traditional scouting, which relies on subjective evaluations and lacks real-time performance assessment, by introducing a gesture pattern refinement process to enhance motion data consistency and improve classification reliability. Applied to football shooting talent recognition, ML-ATR initially achieved 91% accuracy using Support Vector Machine (SVM) on sensor data. However, overfitting concerns necessitated sliding window data augmentation, which led to an accuracy improvement of 96%. The comparative analysis confirmed SVM’s superiority over K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Random Forest, Decision Tree, and Naive Bayes in generalization performance. Although ML-ATR was only tested on a football shooting case study, unlike conventional methods that rely on video analytics or subjective assessments, ML-ATR offers real-time evaluation and adaptability across multiple sports. Its structured refinement process enhances motion data reliability, making it applicable to many other sports such as basketball, tennis, and sprinting.
