  • Publication number: 20240342552
    Abstract: The present embodiments relate to tracking player movements from a video broadcast and determining a defensive influence score from the tracked movements of the player. The present embodiments can implement one or more models to generate a defensive influence score that quantifies a defensive intensity of a player during the course of a game. The defensive influence score can include a frame-by-frame machine learning prediction that can be used to estimate the defensive pressure a player is having on another player during the course of the game. Additionally, the present embodiments can capture and estimate fitness metrics, such as sprints and efforts around detected plays such as pick-and-rolls and off-ball screens, which can be good proxies for player effort. Further, event detection outputs (both offensive and defensive metrics), can be used as features to estimate fitness metrics for the player (e.g., player load, sprints, jogs, etc.).

  • Publication number: 20170051572
    Abstract: In one illustrative embodiment, the ball inserter device comprises, among other things, a body having a ball insertion opening and a ball drop opening, wherein the ball drop opening intersects the ball insertion opening, a ball inserter piston that is attached to the body and an inserter cavity isolation valve coupled to the body wherein the valve element, when closed, blocks the ball insertion opening and partially defines an insertion cavity between the inserter cavity isolation valve and the ball inserter piston and a pressure relief valve coupled to the body that is in fluid communication with the insertion cavity. In this example, the device also comprises a ball input device coupled to the body that includes a plug, a removable cap and an opening that is axially aligned with the ball drop opening.
