Abstract: An image evaluating section calculates evaluation values of a plurality of game videos recorded in a recording apparatus. A data reduction processing section reduces, on the basis of each of the evaluation values of the plurality of game videos, a data amount of a game video recorded in the recording apparatus. In the recording apparatus, an upper limit capacity is set to a region in which the plurality of game videos are recorded. The data reduction processing section reduces the data amount of the already recorded game videos, when a new game video is recorded in the recording apparatus.

Abstract: An electronic gaming system includes a processor configured to execute instructions stored in a memory. The instructions, when executed, cause the processor to initiate a reel game that uses a set of reels having a set of reel strips, and select a special symbol that is included in the set of reel strips from a plurality of special symbols including a first set of special symbols associated with a first pay evaluation and a second set of special symbols associated with a second pay evaluation that determines a greater number of winning symbol combinations than the first pay evaluation. Special symbols of the first set have a greater probability of being selected than special symbols of the second set. The instructions, when executed, also cause the processor to cause display of an outcome of the reel game and evaluate the outcome of the reel game.

Abstract: Use of pose prediction models enables runtime animation to be generated for an electronic game. The pose prediction model can predict a character pose of a character based on joint data for a pose of the character in a previous frame. Further, by using environment data, it is possible to modify the prediction of the character pose based on a particular environment in which the character is location. Advantageously, the use of machine learning enables prediction of character movement in environment in which it is difficult or impossible to obtain motion capture data.

Abstract: Methods and systems for use in automating or assisting umpiring of a baseball or softball game are described herein. A location of a strike zone is determined based on video images of a batter standing next to home plate captured by a camera. Locations of a ball traveling towards the batter, and locations of the bat being held by the batter, are autonomously tracked using computer vision based on video images captured by at least two cameras having different positions. Additionally, there are autonomous determinations of whether a location of the ball intersects with the strike zone, and whether the batter made a genuine attempt to swing the bat at the ball, and based one at least one of these determinations, there is an autonomous determination of whether a “strike” or a “ball” occurred. Additionally, an indication of whether a “strike” or a “ball” occurred is autonomously output.
