Real-Time Sports Advisory System Using Ball Trajectory Prediction

摘要

A sports advisory system identifies the position of a ball in a plurality of images. Based on the identified positions, a projected trajectory for the ball is determined in real time, and a prediction generated regarding a sporting outcome. A participant, such as a player, referee, or spectator, is provided with advisory information regarding the sporting outcome via a communication unit.

主权项

1. A system for providing advisory information regarding a sporting outcome, the system comprising:
a camera that captures a plurality of images, each of a plural subset of the images including a ball; a data processing device coupled to the camera via a low-latency data connection, the data processing device configured to identify a position of the ball in each of the plural subset of the images, project one or more possible trajectories of the ball based on the positions, and predict a sporting outcome based on the projected one or more trajectories; and a communication unit coupled to the data processing device via a second data connection, the communication unit configured to provide the advisory information to a sporting participant based on the predicted sporting outcome.
