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.
Claims9
A computer-implemented method for determining a target situation in an event comprising:
- receiving positional information including the relative positions of a first plurality of selected participants in the event;
- calculating, in real-time, a sequence of individual aggregate motion values based upon the positional information of the plurality of selected participants, wherein each aggregate motion value is, at a particular time, one of:
- (a) a sum of velocities of the plurality of selected participants at that time and (b) an average of velocities of the plurality of selected participants at that time;
- and
- determining that the target situation has occurred when at least one change in the sequence of aggregate motion values occurs in accordance with a predetermined characteristic during a first time interval.
