The AI process
The Process
- Incoming video footage of real match game play is captured (this could be a real-time feed)
Step 1
The video footage of the game is analyzed via AI:
- to detect and track players, referees, and footballs
- to train the model to improve its performance
- to assign players to teams based on the colors of their t-shirts
- to measure a team's ball acquisition percentage in a match
- to accurately measure a player's movement
- to measure a player's movement in meters rather than pixels
- to calculate a player's speed and the distance covered
Step 2
The resulting video, with tracking data, is analyzed via AI to produce observations
Step 3
The observation results are processed via AI to produce predictions
