This project explores the potential for the accurate prediction of basketball shooting posture with machine learning (ML) prediction algorithms, using the data collected by an Internet of Things (IoT) based motion capture system. Specifically, this question is addressed in the research - Can I develop an ML model to generalize a decent basketball shot pattern? - by introducing a supervised learning paradigm, where the ML method takes acceleration attributes to predict the basketball shot efficiency. The solution presented in this study considers motion capture devices configuration on the right upper limb with a sole motion sensor made by BNO080 and ESP32 attached on the right wrist, right forearm, and right shoulder, respectively, By observing the rate of speed changing in the shooting movement and comparing their performance, ML models that apply K-Nearest Neighbor, and Decision Tree algorithm, conclude the best range of acceleration that different spots on the arm should implement.
