Topic:

OddballSportsTV - A Real-World Computer Vision Design Case Study

David is engineering a computer vision system for OddballSportsTV to augment their livestream and post-production events with automated scoring, annotations, statistics, and more. David will discuss the project background, design consideration and trade-offs, current challenges, future plans, and a call for collaboration. The presentation will include a Python and OpenCV code walkthrough in a Colab Jupyter Notebook. Time permitting, a live scale model of the application will be demonstrated. 
 
Oddball Sports is a multimedia platform covering the wide world of odd, niche and high-growth sports. Oddball covers these sports and communities with storytelling and original content, with an emphasis on video production. Their video content is varied and includes live game broadcasts, panel shows, coaching tutorials and scripted shorts.
