## 👋 hello In sports, every centimeter and every second matter. That's why Roboflow decided to use sports as a testing ground to push our object detection, image segmentation, keypoint detection, and foundational models to their limits. This repository contains reusable tools that can be applied in sports and beyond. ## 🥵 challenges Are you also a fan of computer vision and sports? We welcome contributions from anyone who shares our passion! Together, we can build powerful open-source tools for sports analytics. Here are the main challenges we're looking to tackle: - **Ball tracking:** Tracking the ball is extremely difficult due to its small size and rapid movements, especially in high-resolution videos. - **Reading jersey numbers:** Accurately reading player jersey numbers is often hampered by blurry videos, players turning away, or other objects obscuring the numbers. - **Player tracking:** Maintaining consistent player identification throughout a game is a challenge due to frequent occlusions caused by other players or objects on the field. - **Player re-identification:** Re-identifying players who have left and re-entered the frame is tricky, especially with moving cameras or when players are visually similar. - **Camera calibration:** Accurately calibrating camera views is crucial for extracting advanced statistics like player speed and distance traveled. This is a complex task due to the dynamic nature of sports and varying camera angles. ## 💻 install We don't have a Python package yet.
