  • Patent number: 12283102
    Abstract: A computing system identifies broadcast video data for a game. The computing system generates tracking data for the game from the broadcast video data using computer vision techniques. The tracking data includes coordinates of players during the game. The computing system generates optical character recognition data for the game from the broadcast video data by applying one or more optical character recognition techniques to each frame of the plurality of frames to extract score and time information from a scoreboard displayed in each frame. The computing system detects a plurality of events that occurred in the game by applying one or more machine learning techniques to the tracking data. The computing system receives play-by-play data for the game. The computing system generates enriched tracking data. The generating includes merging the play-by-play data with one or more of the tracking data, the optical character recognition data, and the plurality of events.

  • Publication number: 20230334859
    Abstract: A computing system identifies broadcast video for a plurality of games in a first league. The broadcast video includes a plurality of video frames. The computing system generates tracking data for each game from the broadcast video of a corresponding game. The computing system enriches the tracking data. The enriching includes merging play-by-play data for the game with the tracking data of the corresponding game. The computing system generates padded tracking data based on the tracking data. The computing system projects player performance in a second league for each player based on the tracking data and the padded tracking data.
