With a model hosted on Roboflow like the ones above and the open source supervision Python package, you can count tennis rackets in your images and videos.

The following code snippet counts the number of tennis rackets present in an image.

To use the snippet below, you will need to run pip install roboflow supervision. Replace the project name and model name with any model trained on Universe, such as those listed above.

import supervision as sv
import roboflow

roboflow.login()
rf = roboflow.Roboflow()

# replace with the tennis racket project you choose above
project = rf.workspace("jacob-solawetz").project("microsoft-coco")
tennis_racket_model = project.version(12).model

results = tennis_racket_model.predict("tennis_racket.jpg").json()
tennis_rackets = sv.Detections.from_roboflow(results)

# print number of tennis rackets
print(len(tennis_rackets))

How to Count Tennis Rackets in a Zone

With a bit more code, you can count the number of tennis racket present in a specific zone of your image or video.

The following code snippet counts the number of tennis racket present in each frame in a video.

To use the snippet below, you will need to run pip install roboflow supervision. Replace the project name and model name with any model trained on Universe, such as those listed above.

# use https://roboflow.github.io/polygonzone/ to get the points for your shape
polygon = np.array([
    # draw 50x50 box in top left corner
    [0, 0],
    [50, 0],
    [50, 50],

How to Track Tennis Rackets Crossing a Line

You can count how many tennis rackets have crossed a line using the supervision LineCounter method.

The following code snippet counts the number of tennis rackets that cross a line in a video.

To use the snippet below, you will need to run pip install roboflow supervision. Replace the project name and model name with any model trained on Universe, such as those listed above.

import numpy as np
import supervision as sv
import roboflow

SOURCE_VIDEO_PATH = "tennis_racket.mp4"
TARGET_VIDEO_PATH = "tennis_racket_out.mp4"

# use https://roboflow.github.io/polygonzone/ to get the points for your line
LINE_START = sv.Point(0, 300)
LINE_END = sv.Point(800, 300)
