Deep localization and modeling of play-fields

体育分析已经被证明对提高球队的表现非常有效，甚至可以发现和预防伤病。SPORTLOGiQ是一家市场领先的加拿大公司，提供基于计算机视觉的体育分析工具。在这个研究项目中，SPORTLOGiQ和维多利亚大学将首次合作，以扩大人工智能（AI）辅助体育分析工具的范围。具体来说，我们将开发一个深度神经网络来识别游戏场地，并使用其结果来同时跟踪相机姿势以及估计场地尺寸。这将允许我们为广播视频提供精确的增强现实（AR），并能够分析比赛中发生的事情，**任何体育运动。

Sport analytics has shown to be very effective for improving the performance of a team, or to even detect and**prevent injuries. SPORTLOGiQ is a market-leading Candian company that provides Computer Vision-based**sport analytic tools. In this research project, SPORTLOGiQ and the University of Victoria will collaborate for**the first time to broaden the scope of Artificial Intelligence (AI) assisted sport analytic tools.**Specifically, we will develop a Deep Neural Network that identifies the play-field, and use its results to**simultaneously track the camera pose as well as estimate the field dimensions. This will allow us to provide**accurate Augmented Reality (AR) for broadcast videos, and be able to analyze what is going on in the game,**for any sport out there.
