Review of computer vision in sports
The various uses of computer vision in sports are covered in this paper, including broadcast enhancement, tracking and detection of players and balls, and the issue of players being blocked in multiplayer sports.
Abstract
All industries employ machine learning extensively, and one of the most promising fields is computer vision. Computer vision is a simulation of the human visual system that uses cameras and computers to take the role of the human eye to find the target, follow it, and gather data from it so that a decision may be made on whether to take further action or provide recommendations. The various uses of computer vision in sports are covered in this paper. Currently, computer vision is mostly utilized for broadcast enhancement, tracking and detection of players and balls. Although the games graphics has been substantially improved by this technology, there are still several flaws. For instance, some areas are not suited to employ this technology. Another is the issue of players being blocked in multiplayer sports. For broadcasters, computer vision has significant commercial value. For athletes, this technique can improve their performance.
