Abstract:<\/strong>
TrackMan has changed the way we understand and enjoy the games of golf and baseball. TrackMan is the ball tracking technology for all professional baseball games in the world incl generating data for STATCAST by MLB. TrackMan is used every week on the PGA Tour by both Tour Pro\u2019s and broadcasters as well as thousands of instructors and coaches. TrackMan\u2019s ball tracking technology is based on a unique combination of radar and vision tracking, and translates the flight of a ball and trajectory of a club or bat into insights that enable athletes and thought leaders to connect feel with facts. The masters of golf, baseball and other sports rely on TrackMan\u2019s technology to understand their game, improve their performance and, eventually, unleash their full potential.
Bio:<\/strong>
Fredrik Tuxen is CTO and co-founder of TrackMan which was established in 2003. Fredrik is the inventor of the TrackMan technology and is heading an R&D group of 120 people. Fredrik holds a M.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from Denmark\u2019s Technical University (DTU) from 1990 with specialty in radar and signal processing. Further, Fredrik is the inventor of more than 20 patents.<\/p>\n
Optical Player and Ball Tracking in Soccer<\/strong>
Abstract: <\/strong>
Intel Sports has a volumetric video capture technology that gives avid fans a new and immersive ways to engage with sports content. It allows fans to see every angle of the most amazing plays \u2013 even from the player\u2019s perspective. High-resolution cameras and AI technologies are now deployed in stadiums and cloud around the world. You can experience amazing replays and highlights on TV, in the stadium, or on sports websites and apps (https:\/\/www.intel.com\/content\/www\/us\/en\/sports\/technology\/true-view.html<\/a>).
In this project, one complex task we need address is real-time player and ball tracking. This talk will cover how we do multi-camera player and ball tracking in soccer. Meanwhile, how we handle the difficulties in real production environment will also be discussed.
Bio:<\/strong>
Eric Li joined Intel in 2002. He is currently leading CV based player tracking technology development in Intel Sports. Prior to this, he has been working on high performance facial analysis technology development, which was used in several top messaging mobile applications. Earlier, he has been working on projects including multimedia and machine learning technology, algorithmic & architecture related parallelization and optimization. He received his B.S degree from Tsinghua Univ. in 1999, M.S degree in communication and information system from Tsinghua Univ. in 2002.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>Sports is said to be the social glue of society. It allows people to interact irrespective of their social status, age etc. With the rise of the mass media, a significant quantity of resources has been channeled into sports in order to improve understanding, performance and presentation. For example, areas like performance assessment, which were previously mainly of interest to coaches and sports scientists are now finding applications in broadcast and other media, driven by the increasing use of on-line sports viewing which provides a way of making all sorts of performance statistics available to viewers. Computer vision has recently started to play an important role in sports as seen in for example football where computer vision-based graphics in real-time enhances different aspects of the game.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>The ambition of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from different disciplines to share ideas and methods on current and future use of computer vision in sports. To this end we welcome computer vision-based research contributions as well as best-practice contributions focusing on the following (and similar) topics:<\/p>\n
– tracking people and objects in sports
– activity recognition in sports
– event detection in sports
– spectator monitoring
– annotation and indexing in sports
– graphical effects in sports
– analysis of injuries in sports
– performance assessment in sports
– alternative sensing in sports (beyond the visible spectrum)<\/p>\n
