  • System and method for identifying, analyzing, and reporting on players in a game from video
    Patent number: 9977966
    Abstract: The invention is a system and method used for detection, analysis, and reporting on player metrics of a sporting event using video images. The main components of the invention are: grabbing a digital video image frame or grabbing an analog video image frame and converting the analog video image frame to a digital video image frame, extracting field of play markings from the video image frame(s) for use as image control points, creating a perspective projection registration model based upon the pairing of image control points with a set of user-defined control points representative of the field of play, extracting player image locations on each team from the video image frames, and applying the perspective projection transformation model to register participant image locations to their respective planimetric coordinate position on the user defined field of play.
