AI in sports analytics: object detection and tracking with open source vision models - Knime
In sports, where real-time decisions and precision are critical, the ability to analyze images through object detection and tracking can be a game-changer. For example, imagine instantly determining the winner in a cycling race or tracking the ball movement in a soccer match—all with the help of AI and visual workflows. These capabilities enable faster decision-making, reduce human error, and deliver detailed performance insights that go beyond the limits of human observation. In this blog post, we’ll explain how to: Use pre-trained vision models to analyze and process visual data efficiently. Dive into two specific use cases using KNIME workflows: Object detection in cycling: Identify the lead cyclist in a race. Object tracking in soccer: Track the ball's movement across video frames.
