Democratising AI in Sports: Analytics & Player Tracking

Imagine if every coach had cutting-edge AI at their fingertips.

My dad, a football coach with a tech-savvy edge, would've been thrilled to have this kind of AI technology at his disposal.

He often paused training with his classic "STOP, STAND STILL" command to fine-tune players' positioning.

Now, with Roboflow's open-source AI tools, such detailed analysis is within reach for everyone, for free.

Available on GitHub, these tools offer professional-level insights into player positioning and ball tracking, revolutionising how we understand and improve in sports.

This is perfect for coaches, players, and enthusiasts looking to elevate their game understanding and performance.

Key features include:

→ Accurate ball tracking in high-resolution videos

→ Precise identification of players throughout the game

→ Consistent identification of players despite occlusions

→ Re-identification of players after leaving the frame

→ Calibration of cameras for advanced statistical analysis

Beyond sports, these tools can be adapted for security, retail, and more, inviting collaboration from developers, data scientists, and sports fans.
