DEFENSIVE AND FITNESS PLAYER ANALYSIS USING REMOTE TRACKING IN SPORTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240342552 titled 'DEFENSIVE AND FITNESS PLAYER ANALYSIS USING REMOTE TRACKING IN SPORTS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application relates to tracking player movements in a video broadcast to determine a defensive influence score based on the player's defensive intensity during a game.

  • Uses machine learning models to generate a defensive influence score.
  • Estimates defensive pressure a player exerts on another player.
  • Captures fitness metrics like sprints and efforts during plays.
  • Utilizes event detection outputs for estimating player fitness metrics.
  • Provides frame-by-frame predictions for defensive intensity.

Key Features and Innovation

  • Tracking player movements in a video broadcast.
  • Determining defensive influence score based on defensive intensity.
  • Implementing machine learning models for score generation.
  • Estimating defensive pressure between players.
  • Capturing fitness metrics like sprints and efforts during plays.

Potential Applications

This technology can be used in sports analytics, coaching, player performance evaluation, and scouting.

Problems Solved

This technology addresses the need for quantifying defensive intensity in sports, tracking player movements accurately, and estimating fitness metrics during gameplay.

Original Abstract Submitted

the present embodiments relate to tracking player movements from a video broadcast and determining a defensive influence score from the tracked movements of the player. the present embodiments can implement one or more models to generate a defensive influence score that quantifies a defensive intensity of a player during the course of a game. the defensive influence score can include a frame-by-frame machine learning prediction that can be used to estimate the defensive pressure a player is having on another player during the course of the game. additionally, the present embodiments can capture and estimate fitness metrics, such as sprints and efforts around detected plays such as pick-and-rolls and off-ball screens, which can be good proxies for player effort. further, event detection outputs (both offensive and defensive metrics), can be used as features to estimate fitness metrics for the player (e.g., player load, sprints, jogs, etc.).
