Abstract
A computer-implemented method for determining a target situation in an athletic event. Positional information including the relative positions of a group of selected participants is initially received from a tracking system, and the aggregate motion of the selected participants is detected in real-time using the positional information. The target situation may be determined to have occurred when a change in the aggregate motion occurs in accordance with a predetermined characteristic during an initial time interval.
Claims13
A computer-implemented method for identifying a play in a sporting event, comprising:
- periodically receiving, from a tracking system, positional information defining location of each of a plurality of participants in the sporting event;
- processing the positional information to determine a static formation of players of interest immediately prior to a start of the play;
- comparing the static formation against a plurality of standard formations stored in a database to identify a nearest standard formation corresponding to the static formation;
- wherein the play is identified based upon the nearest standard formation.
