Methods and systems for ball game analytics with a mobile device
Last updated:
Abstract:
Methods and systems for ball shot attempt detection and game analytics generation are disclosed. The methods and systems perform steps to receive an input video of a ball gameplay, wherein the input video was captured using a stationary camera, and wherein frames of the input video comprises a goal; identify a Region of Interest (ROI) surrounding the goal by performing a first computer vision algorithm on the input video; detect a ball within the ROI during a shot attempt and determining a trajectory of the ball by performing a second computer vision algorithm on the input video; and identify a player relevant to the shot attempt based on the trajectory of the ball. In some embodiments, the computer vision algorithms comprise a convolution neural network (CNN). The present invention uses computer vision techniques to enable a resource-limited mobile device such as a smartphone to efficiently execute the new process.
