Computer Vision is Changing the Face of Sports

Fast and accurate, that is what most sports are about. Although when computer vision has been around for many years, not many people in sports seem to be aware of its values, feasibility and applications to the real stadium and the world. Computer Vision (CV) is a subfield of artificial intelligence and machine learning that develops techniques to train computers to interpret and understand the contents inside images. Computer Vision aims to replicate parts of the complexities in the human visual system and visual perception by applying deep learning models to accurately detect and classify objects from the dynamic and varying physical world. Many types of sports are often multidimensional systems that incorporate a plethora of data points that make one team or athlete better than the other.
