Systems and methods for partitioning a video feed to segment live player activity

1. A system to partition a video feed to segment live player activity, the system comprising:

a communication interface configured to:

receive, on a first recurring basis, a transmission of a central video feed from a first camera, wherein the central video feed is calibrated against a spatial region represented in at least two dimensions that is encompassed by the central video feed and the central video feed is at a first resolution such that the central video feed is partitionable into sub-views, each sub-view meeting a threshold resolution; and

receive, on a second recurring basis, a respective time-stamped position information from each tracking device in a plurality of tracking devices; and

a processor coupled to the communication interface and configured to:

use the received time-stamped position information and the calibration of the central video feed to define a first sub-view of the central video feed, the first sub-view being associated with a first subject associated with a first tracking device included in the plurality of tracking devices and the first sub-view comprising for each of a plurality of frames comprising the central video feed a corresponding sub-frame associated with the first subject, wherein the first sub-view is at a second resolution lower than the first resolution; and

cause the first sub-view to be communicated to a device configured to display the first sub-view.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the calibration of the central video feed against a spatial region is based at least in part on known information about the spatial region.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the known information about the spatial region includes at least one of: boundary lines, lines of known and uniform dimensions, lines of known lengths or thicknesses, locations, or regulation.

4. The system of claim 2 , wherein the known information about the spatial region includes location of a camera relative to the spatial region.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the camera is fixed such that the camera is limited in movement in at least one dimension.

6. The system of claim 4 , wherein the camera is in a fixed location with known at least one of: tilt, pan, or zoom.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first sub-view is a different form factor than the central video feed.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first sub-view is one of portrait orientation or landscape orientation and the central video feed is the other one of portrait orientation or landscape orientation.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first sub-view tracks the first subject as the first subject moves through the spatial region including by tracking corresponding positional information.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first subject is selected by a user at a remote device.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first subject is selected automatically based at least in part on being within a threshold distance to a ball or other subject.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first sub-view is communicated independently from the central video feed.

13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first sub-view includes information related to an identity of the first subject, the identity is displayable, and the identity is selectable within the first sub-view for display.

14. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to use the received time-stamped position information and the calibration of the central video feed to define a second sub-view of the central video feed, wherein the second sub-view is associated with a second subject in at least one of: the same competition, a different concurrent live competition, or a historical competition.

15. The system of claim 1 , wherein each subject in the first subject has a plurality of sensors configured to collect sensor data and the processor is further configured to:

identify a geometric center or other point or range of points based at least in part on the collected sensor data and collective tracking information for first subject; and

define the first sub-view based at least in part on the identified geometric center or other point or range of points.

16. The system of claim 1 , wherein the video feed is a live sport event involving (i) a first team comprising a first set of subjects that includes the first subject and (ii) a second team comprising a second set of subjects.

17. A method to partition a video feed to segment live player activity, the method comprising:

receiving, on a first recurring basis, a transmission of a central video feed from a first camera, wherein the central video feed is calibrated against a spatial region represented in at least two dimensions that is encompassed by the central video feed and the central video feed is at a first resolution such that the central video feed is partitionable into sub-views, each sub-view meeting a threshold resolution;

receiving, on a second recurring basis, a respective time-stamped position information from each tracking device in a plurality of tracking devices;

using the received time-stamped position information and the calibration of the central video feed to define a first sub-view of the central video feed, the first sub-view being associated with a first subject associated with a first tracking device included in the plurality of tracking devices and the first sub-view comprising for each of a plurality of frames comprising the central video feed a corresponding sub-frame associated with the first subject, wherein the first sub-view is at a second resolution lower than the first resolution; and

causing the first sub-view to be communicated to a device configured to display the first sub-view.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the first sub-view tracks the first subject as the first subject moves through the spatial region including by tracking corresponding positional information.

19. The method of claim 17 , wherein the first subject is selected by a user at a remote device.

20. A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:

receiving, on a first recurring basis, a transmission of a central video feed from a first camera, wherein the central video feed is calibrated against a spatial region represented in at least two dimensions that is encompassed by the central video feed and the central video feed is at a first resolution such that the central video feed is partitionable into sub-views, each sub-view meeting a threshold resolution;

receiving, on a second recurring basis, a respective time-stamped position information from each tracking device in a plurality of tracking devices;

using the received time-stamped position information and the calibration of the central video feed to define a first sub-view of the central video feed, the first sub-view being associated with a first subject associated with a first tracking device included in the plurality of tracking devices and the first sub-view comprising for each of a plurality of frames comprising the central video feed a corresponding sub-frame associated with the first subject, wherein the first sub-view is at a second resolution lower than the first resolution; and

causing the first sub-view to be communicated to a device configured to display the first sub-view.
