Systems, Methods, and Computer-Program Products for Assessing Athletic Ability and Generating Performance Data

One or more computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more computer processors, perform a method for generating athlete performance data through computer-vision analysis, the method comprising:

• accessing a video, the video comprising a plurality of frames depicting an athlete, each of the plurality of frames having an associated time-stamp;
• identifying, using a computer-vision system, a location of the athlete in each frame of the plurality of frames;
• identifying, using the computer-vision system, a location of a reference element in each frame of the plurality of frames;
• identifying, using the computer-vision system, a number of pixels between the athlete and the reference element in each frame of the plurality of frames to thereby determine a pixel-distance between the athlete and the reference element in each frame;
• converting, using the computer-vision system, each pixel-distance to a corresponding physical distance;
• generating performance data for the athlete using the converted physical distance at each time-stamp;
• and
• updating a profile associated with the athlete to include the generated performance data.
