Abstract: Systems and methods as disclosed herein automatically provide real-time dosing corrections for an industrial process wherein enzyme blends are applied to natural fibers for pulp/paper production. An initial enzyme blend (e.g., enzymes and supporting formulation components, as relevant) and respective dose rates are selected to be applied based on expected fiber surface substrate characterization, expected fiber quality characterization, the physical conditions of the system being treated, respective characteristics of the initially selected enzyme blend components, etc. Upon application of the initial enzyme blend, online sensors provide real-time feedback data corresponding to measured actual values for the fiber surface substrate characterization and fiber quality characterization. A replacement enzyme blend (enzymes and supporting formulation components) and respective dose rates thereof is dynamically selected based on the feedback data.

Abstract: A player monitoring system for compensating for network delays comprises a server that is configured to receive sensor data from multiple sensors at dispersed locations. In some embodiments, a server is configured to determine a delay associated with one network path carrying sensor data to the server and a delay associated with another network path carrying sensor data to the server. Based on the delays, the server is configured to synchronize events detected by the sensors at the dispersed location, thereby permitting more precise and accurate gameplay decisions for a dispersed sporting event.

Abstract: A system for calibrating a computing device to track basketball shots has a camera for capturing two-dimensional (2-D) images of a basketball shot toward a basketball hoop. The system identifies the basketball and basketball hoop in the 2-D images and determines distances of the basketball from the camera based on sizes of the basketball in the 2-D images. The system also determines angles of the basketball from the camera based on positions of the basketball in the 2-D images. The system calculates a parabolic trajectory of the basketball based on the determined distances and angles and then determines an orientation and a position of the camera in three-dimensional (3-D) space based on the identified basketball hoop and the calculated trajectory. The system stores, in memory, calibration data indicative of the orientation and the position of the camera in 3-D space for use in tracking basketball shots by the computing device.

Abstract: A system for evaluating player performance comprises at least one sensor for capturing images of a player performing a basketball shot. At least one processor is configured to analyze the images to determine a position of the basketball and, based on the determined position, calculate a first value indicative of a shot performance of the player. The processor is further configured to identify a region from which the basketball was shot by the player for the basketball shot. The processor is further configured to calculate, based on whether the basketball shot is made, a second value indicating a shot performance of the player in taking a plurality of basketball shots from the identified region. An output mechanism is configured to display shot performance information associated with the player based on the first value and the second value.

The system can determine and store at least one parameter indicative of the performance of the player in performing an action, and calculate based on the at least one stored parameter at least one value indicative of the player's performance and provide an output indicative of the assessment.

Abstract: Systems and methods relating to evaluating the performance of a person playing basketball are described. The systems and methods can be used to provide an evaluation sequence that can determine and evaluate the performance level of a person at one or more basketball skills. The evaluation sequence for the person can include a first sequence of actions that are the same each person being evaluated for a particular skill and a second sequence of actions that is based on the results of the first sequence and may be different for each person. Once the first and second sequences have been completed by the person, the system can determine a performance level for the person for the skills being evaluated.

Abstract: A player monitoring system efficiently processes sensor data in a manner that reduces processing burdens on processing resources of the system. In some embodiments, sensor data from one sensor (e.g., a low-resolution or low-rate sensor) is used to identify an event of interest, such as a player launching an object to another player or goal. In response to the detected event, sensor data from another sensor (e.g., a high-resolution or a high-rate sensor) is culled based on a time or location of the event so as to reduce the amount of data processed by the system to evaluate a performance of a player during the event. Thus, the overall amount of data processed for evaluating player performance can be significantly reduced, thereby increasing system efficiency.
