Intel Will Bring 3D Athlete Tracking to 2020 Olympic Games
Sep. 15, 20193D Athlete Tracking(3DAT) is a computer vision solution powered by artificial intelligence that shows the viewers almost real-time insights and overlay visualizations during athletic events. The technology makes use of four cameras to capture the movements of athletes.
Algorithms optimized for Intel Xeon processors will perform the rest of the heavy lifting to come up with all the visualizations available during replays. This is mainly focused on 100 meters and other sprinting events.
Also, Intel’s VR training system will be utilized to train venue managers. Intel claims that the training system provides accurate feedback and a realistic experience which in turn increases the efficiency and effectiveness of the training.“The training will also include building digital versions sometimes known as “digital twinning” that can open several opportunities to unleash the power of data for training, planning, simulation and more.”,wrote Intel in apress release.
Moreover, Intel has a facial recognition system named “NeoFace” powered by the Intel Core i5 processor that will be used to identify over 300,000 people at the games. This includes athletes, volunteers, media and all other staff.
