  • Publication number: 20260187816
    Abstract: A system and method of generating a player tracking prediction are described herein. A computing system retrieves a broadcast video feed for a sporting event. The computing system segments the broadcast video feed into a unified view. The computing system generates a plurality of data sets based on the plurality of trackable frames. The computing system calibrates a camera associated with each trackable frame based on the body pose information. The computing system generates a plurality of sets of short tracklets based on the plurality of trackable frames and the body pose information. The computing system connects each set of short tracklets by generating a motion field vector for each player in the plurality of trackable frames. The computing system predicts a future motion of a player based on the player's motion field vector using a neural network.

  • Publication number: 20260038143
    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein may estimate locations of players not visible in a sporting broadcast video. A prediction model may be generated based on a training data set of in-venue tracking data that includes locations of all players at all times and the corresponding broadcast tracking data that may not necessarily contain the locations of all players at all times. The prediction model may be based on an algorithmic logic (e.g., a spline regression) or machine learning model (e.g., k-nearest neighbor, deep neural network). The generated predicted model may be used to estimate the unknown locations of players in broadcast tracking based on the known locations.

  • Publication number: 20260004583
    Abstract: A computing system receives a plurality of game files corresponding to a plurality of games across a plurality of seasons. The computing system generates a prediction model configured to generate a possession value for an event. The computing system receives a target event, in real-time or near real-time, from a tracking system monitoring a target game. The computing system generates target features for the target event based on target event data associated with the target event. The computing system generates, via the prediction model, a target possession value for the target event based on the target event data and the target features. The target possession value represents a likelihood that a team with possession will score within a following x-seconds after the target event.

  • Publication number: 20250336208
    Abstract: A system and method of predicting a team's formation on a playing surface are disclosed herein. A computing system retrieves one or more sets of event data for a plurality of events. Each set of event data corresponds to a segment of the event. A deep neural network, such as a mixture density network, learns to predict an optimal permutation of players in each segment of the event based on the one or more sets of event data. The deep neural network learns a distribution of players for each segment based on the corresponding event data and optimal permutation of players. The computing system generates a fully trained prediction model based on the learning. The computing system receives target event data corresponding to a target event. The computing system generates, via the trained prediction model, an expected position of each player based on the target event data.

  • Publication number: 20250312696
    Abstract: A computing system retrieves historical event data for a plurality of games in a league. The historical event data includes (x,y) coordinates of players within each game and game context data. The computing system learns one or more attributes of each team in each game and each player on each team in each game. The computing system receives a request to simulate a play in a historical game. The request includes substituting a player that was in the play with a target player that was not in the play. The computing system simulates the play with the target player in place of the player based on the one or more attributes learned by the computing system. The computing system generates a graphical representation of the simulation.
