Abstract
A device for detecting a goaltending event includes circuitry configured to: determine a real-life position of a basketball from a video stream; detect an impact on the basketball from the movement of the basketball captured in the video stream; output a signal indicating a detected goaltending event based on the detected impact and the real-life position of the basketball.
Claims20
A device-system for detecting a goaltending event, comprising:
- a plurality of cameras;
- and
- circuitry configured to:
- receive a video stream from the cameras;
- determine a real-life position of a basketball from a video stream by determining the pixels in the video stream that correspond to the basketball;
- detect an impact on the basketball from the movement of the basketball captured in the video stream;
- determine a real-life skeletal feature position;
- and
- output a signal indicating a detected goaltending event based on the detected impact and the real-life position of the basketball;
- wherein the signal indicating the detected goaltending event is further based on the real-life position of the basketball relative to a real-life position of a basketball rim and the real-life skeletal feature position.
