By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Computer Weekly News -- Current study results on Computers - Computer Programming have been published. According to news reporting from Constance, Germany, by VerticalNews journalists, research stated, “Analysts in professional team sport regularly perform analysis to gain strategic and tactical insights into player and team behavior. Goals of team sport analysis regularly include identification of weaknesses of opposing teams. or assessing performance and improvement potential of a coached team.”
Financial support for this research came from ERC.
The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from the University of Konstanz, “Current analysis workflows are typically based on the analysis of team videos. Also, analysts can rely on techniques from Information Visualization. to depict e.g., player or ball trajectories. However. video analysis is typically a time-consuming process. where the analyst needs to memorize and annotate scenes. In contrast. visualization typically relies on an abstract data model, often using abstract visual mappings. and is not directly linked to the observed movement context anymore. We propose a visual analytics system that tightly integrates team sport video recordings with abstract visualization of underlying trajectory data. We apply appropriate computer vision techniques to extract trajectory data from video input. Furthermore, we apply advanced trajectory and movement analysis techniques to derive relevant team sport analytic measures for region. event and player analysis in the case of soccer analysis. Our system seamlessly integrates video and visualization modalities, enabling analysts to draw on the advantages of both analysis forms.”
According to the news reporters, the research concluded: “Several expert studies conducted with team sport analysts indicate the effectiveness of our integrated approach.”
