Problems in the Current Market
Many companies claim that they can track basketball players' movements in real time using only vision cameras. However, in reality, there is no service that provides fully automated vision-only movement tracking without human intervention. In practice, player movement is tracked either by using wearable sensors or by involving human experts in the vision analysis process.
More specifically, the reason why purely vision-based MOT (multiple object tracking) technology is difficult to apply to basketball games is that, within the camera's field of view, players frequently overlap and occlude each other. As a result, during the process of associating players detected in the current frame with players being tracked from previous frames, large errors occur.
The fused-association technology of CourtLenz identifies players who are occluded by other players among
those detected in the current frame, and adjusts their bounding boxes accordingly. Furthermore,
this technology accurately detects court lines in game footage, and based on these court lines,
places players’ bounding boxes onto a tactical board in BEV (bird’s eye view).
Technique - Courtline Recognition & Warping
Our advanced computer vision algorithms precisely identify and track basketball court boundaries in real-time, enabling accurate spatial mapping and perspective transformation for enhanced game analysis.
Technique – Fused Association
Our revolutionary Fused Association technology maintains accurate player identification even through severe occlusions and overlaps, ensuring continuous and reliable data collection throughout the game.
Usage
CourtLenz seamlessly integrates into the existing workflows of coaches and analysts, providing them with powerful real-time and post-game analytics. These insights are then made easily accessible through our intuitive interface, empowering players to track their own progress and parents to support their child's journey.
