Modeling Player Dynamics for Enhanced Basketball Video Production

Today we're Julian Quiroga, a Computer Vision Team Lead at Genius Sports, to discuss his recent paper “As Seen on TV: Automatic Basketball Video Production using Gaussian-based Actionness and Game States Recognition.” We explore camera setups and angles, detection and localization of figures on the court (players, refs, and of course, the ball), and the role that deep learning plays in the process. We also break down how this work applies to different sports, and the ways that he is looking to improve i
