Systems and methods for evaluating player performance in sporting events

A method for evaluating player performance during a sporting event, comprising:

• capturing images of a player with at least one camera while the player is participating in the sporting event;
• receiving the captured images from the at least one camera with at least one processor;
• analyzing the captured images with the at least one processor to determine (1) a trajectory of an object moved by the player during the sporting event and (2) orientations and movements of at least one body part of the player while the player is participating in the sporting event;
• determining, with the at least one processor, at least one trajectory parameter indicative of the trajectory based on the determined trajectory;
• assessing, with the at least one processor based on the orientations and the movements of the at least one body part, a balance of the player while the player is performing at least one action at the sporting event;
• categorizing the at least one action with the at least one processor, wherein the assessing comprises assessing the balance of the player for the least one action based on a category of the at least one action;
• comparing, with the at least one processor, the orientations and the movements of the at least one body part for the at least one action to information derived from historical data for the category indicative of orientations and movements of at least one body part of at least one player participating in previous sporting events;
• and
• providing feedback for use in evaluating a performance of the player, the feedback based on the at least one trajectory parameter and the assessment of the balance by the at least one processor.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• capture images of a player with at least one camera while the player is participating in the sporting event;
• receive images of a player captured by at least one camera while the player is participating in a sporting event;
• analyze the captured images to determine (1) a trajectory of an object moved by the player during the sporting event and (2) orientations and movements of at least one body part of the player while the player is participating in the sporting event;
• determine at least one trajectory parameter indicative of the trajectory based on the determined trajectory;
• assess, based on the orientations and the movements of the at least one body part, a balance of the player while the player is performing at least one action at the sporting event;
• categorize at least one action performed by the player at the sporting event;
• assess the balance of the player for the at least one action based on a category of the at least one action;
• compare the orientations and the movements of the at least one body part for the at least one action to information derived from historical data for the category indicative of orientations and movements of at least one body part of at least one player participating in previous sporting events;
• and
• provide feedback for use in evaluating a performance of the player, the feedback based on the at least one trajectory parameter and the assessed balance.
