Automated football action event detection

自动足球动作事件检测技术将有助于提高各级足球运动员对球员表现分析和人才识别所需数据的访问。计算机视觉、运动检测和云计算的进步将使这项技术能够为足球俱乐部、足球学院和国家足球管理机构提供更多的性能数据。这将通过克服现有的挑战来实现，包括由于手动记录比赛动作而依赖于劳动密集型的足球数据获取过程;由于人类判断而导致的数据的准确性，一致性和可比性，以及无法从单个摄像机角度准确检测球员的身体姿势。

The automated football action event detection technology will help to improve access, at all tiers of football, to data needed for player performance analysis and talent identification. Advances in computer vision, motion detection and cloud computing will enable this technology to bring greater access to performance data for football clubs, football academies and national football governing bodies. This will be achieved by overcoming the existing challenges include the reliance on the labour-intensive process of obtaining football data due to manual logging of match actions; accuracy, consistency and comparability in the data due to human judgements, and the inability to accurately detect the body pose of players from a single camera angle.
