Abstract

Claims (35)

1 . A system for video presentation and analytics of a sporting event, comprising:

at least one server including a processor and a memory in communication with at least two cameras;

wherein the at least one server is operable to receive video data from the at least two cameras, wherein the video data includes video of at least one object in the sporting event;

wherein the at least one server is operable to render a three-dimensional (3D) world model comprising the at least one object in the sporting event based on the video data;

wherein the at least one server is operable to generate at least one graphic illustrating the at least one object based on the 3D world model;

wherein the at least one server is operable to predict a collision between the at least one object and at least one other object; and

wherein the at least one server is operable to construct a path of the at least one other object on the at least one graphic as a result of the collision.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one server is operable to provide analytics, projections, and/or predictions at least based on the video data.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the analytics, projections, and/or predictions are further based on environmental data, wherein the environmental data comprises air temperature and/or humidity level.

4 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the analytics, projections, and/or predictions are further based on biometric data, wherein the biometric data comprises weight, height, hydration, heart rate, fatigue, blood pressure, body temperature, blood sugar level, blood composition, and/or alertness.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one server is further operable to project an end position of the at least one object.

6 . A method for video presentation and analytics of a sporting event, comprising:

at least one server including a processor and a memory receiving video data including at least one object from at least two cameras;

the at least one server rendering a three-dimensional (3D) model including the at least one object based on the video data;

the at least one server generating at least one graphic illustrating the at least one object based on the 3D model;

the at least one server predicting a collision between the at least one object and at least one other object; and

the at least one server constructing a path of the at least one other object on the at least one graphic as a result of the collision.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the analytics, projections, and/or predictions are further based on biometric data, wherein the biometric data comprises weight, height, hydration, heart rate, fatigue, blood pressure, body temperature, blood sugar level, blood composition, and/or alertness.

8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the sporting event is a live sporting event.

9 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the video data is two-dimensional (2D) video data.

10 . The method of claim 6 , wherein an origin of the 3D model is a center of a venue of the sporting event.

11 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising the at least one display device displaying statistical data on the at least one graphic, wherein the statistical data comprises a velocity of the at least one object, a rotation of the at least one object, and/or a direction of the at least one object.

12 . An apparatus for video presentation and analytics of a sporting event, comprising:

at least one server including a processor and a memory operable to receive video data from the at least two cameras, wherein the video data includes video of at least one object in the sporting event;

wherein the at least one server is operable to render a model comprising the at least one object in the sporting event based on the video data;

wherein the at least one server is operable to predict a collision between the at least one object and at least one other object; and

wherein the at least one server is operable to display a path of the at least one other object on at least one graphic as a result of the collision.

13 . The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the video data is two-dimensional (2D) video data.

14 . The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the at least one server comprises an intelligence engine including rules sets for the sporting event, and wherein the intelligence engine is configured with an artificial intelligence algorithm.

15 . The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the at least one server is operable to provide analytics, projections, and/or predictions at least based on the video data.

16 . The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the analytics, projections, and/or predictions are further based on environmental data, wherein the environmental data comprises air temperature and/or humidity level.

17 . The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the model includes a three-dimensional (3D) model.

18 . The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the at least one server is further operable to project a path of the at least one object.

19 . The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein an origin of the model is a center of a venue of the sporting event.

20 . The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the at least one server is further operable to project an end position of the at least one object.
