  • Publication number: 20240137584
    Abstract: A computing system automatically extracting, from a digital video frame, scoreboard information including a first team name, a second team name, a first score, and a second score. The computing system (a) detects, within the digital video frame, a plurality of frame regions based on each detected frame region depicting text; (b) selects, from the detected frame regions, a set of frame regions based on the frame regions of the selected set cooperatively having a geometric arrangement that corresponds with a candidate geometric arrangement of the scoreboard information; (c) recognizes characters respectively within each of the frame regions of the selected set of frame regions; (d) based at least on the recognized characters in the frame regions of the selected set, detects the scoreboard information; and (e) records the detected scoreboard information.

  • Publication number: 20240119744
    Abstract: A computing system determines accuracy of sport-related information extracted from a time sequence of digital video frames that represent a sport event, the extracted sport-related information including an attribute that changes over the time sequence. The computing system (a) detects, based on the extracted sport-related information, a pattern of change of the attribute over the time sequence and (b) makes a determination of whether the detected pattern is an expected pattern of change associated with the sport event. If the determination is that the detected pattern is the expected pattern, then, responsive to making the determination, the computing system takes a first action that corresponds to the sport-related information being accurate. Whereas, if the determination is that the detected pattern is not the expected pattern, then, responsive to making the determination, the computing system takes a second action that corresponds to the sport-related information being inaccurate.

  • Patent number: 11798279
    Abstract: A computing system engages in digital image processing of received video frames to generate sport data that indicates a score and/or a time associated with a sport event. The digital image processing includes: (i) identifying a first frame region of the video frames based on the first frame region depicting a scoreboard; (ii) executing a first procedure that analyzes the identified first frame region to detect, within the identified first frame region, second frame region(s) based on the second frame region(s) depicting text of the scoreboard; (iii) in response to detecting the second frame region(s), executing a second procedure to recognize the text in at least one of the second frame region(s); and (iv) based at least on the recognizing of the text, generating the sport data. In response to completing the digital image processing, the computing system then carries out an action based on the generated sport data.

  • Patent number: 11792441
    Abstract: A computing system automatically detects, within a digital video frame, a video frame region that depicts a textual expression of a scoreboard. The computing system (a) engages in an edge-detection process to detect edges of at least scoreboard image elements depicted by the digital video frame, with at least some of these edges being of the textual expression and defining alphanumeric shapes; (b) applies pattern-recognition to identify the alphanumeric shapes; (c) establishes a plurality of minimum bounding rectangles each bounding a respective one of the identified alphanumeric shapes; (d) establishes, based on at least two of the minimum bounding rectangles, a composite shape that encompasses the identified alphanumeric shapes that were bounded by the at least two minimum bounding rectangles; and (e) based on the composite shape occupying a particular region, deems the particular region to be the video frame region that depicts the textual expression.

  • Patent number: 11036995
    Abstract: A computing system automatically detects, in a sequence of video frames, a video frame region that depicts a scoreboard. The video frames of the sequence depict image elements including (i) scoreboard image elements that are unchanging across the video frames of the sequence and (ii) other image elements that change across the video frames of the sequence. Given this, the computing system (a) receives the sequence, (b) engages in an edge-detection process to detect, in the video frames of the sequence, a set of edges of the depicted image elements, (c) identifies a subset of the detected set of edges based on each edge of the subset being unchanging across the video frames of the sequence, and (d) detects, based on the edges of the identified subset, the video frame region that depicts the scoreboard.
