The Paris Olympics have been in full swing since July 26. As a premier international stage representing fairness and justice, every score in the Olympics holds significant importance for the athletes’ futures. With the advancement of AI technology, AI is playing an increasingly vital role in assisting with event judgments and decisions.
 
Alibaba Cloud: AI Creates “Bullet Time” Viewing Experience
Alibaba Cloud has introduced innovative AI-enhanced technology that not only improves the quality of match footage but also contributes to the fairness of judgments. The high-degree-of-freedom replay “Bullet Time” technology provided by Alibaba Cloud uses an array of high-speed cameras and advanced cloud computing technology to achieve real-time capture and multi-angle reconstruction of match moments. When athletes glide into a specific area, the camera quickly selects the frame of the exciting moment and transmits it to the cloud for 3D modeling and rendering. Through effects such as freezing, rotating, and zooming, the details of the athletes’ movements are clearly displayed, providing an immersive viewing experience.

Potential AI Technologies Involved:
– Computer Vision:Capturing game moments through high-definition cameras.
– 3D Modeling and Rendering:Conducting 3D modeling in the cloud to generate dynamic effects like freeze-frames, rotations, and zoom-ins.
– Data Visualization:Providing high-quality visual presentations for both audiences and referees to assist in making more accurate judgments.

 

Omega: AI-Powered Strobe Analysis
Omega, in collaboration with the Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS), utilizes AI technology to provide services that are faster, more accurate, and more insightful. For instance, intelligent strobe analysis for sports such as tennis, diving, and track and field helps audiences better understand the athletes’ movements and biomechanical conditions. This not only enriches the viewing experience but also provides referees with more precise assistance for making judgments.

Dataocean’s dataset of over 50,000 sports videos

Leveraging these cutting-edge AI technologies enhances the fairness of competitions and the viewing experience, offering a better interpretation of the Olympic spirit of peace, respect, friendship, and excellence. Behind these technologies lies the reliance on a vast amount of high-quality training data.
Dataocean AI’s Sport Videos with Highlights Dataset comprises over 50,000 sports action videos, totaling 51,618, with key moments in the actions labeled with start and end frames. The dataset covers a variety of sports including basketball, football, badminton, table tennis, skateboarding, street dance, gymnastics, track and field, high jump, long jump, golf, and dance. Each sport category contains approximately 1,000 to 3,000 videos, with each video featuring at least 1 to 3 valid actions, and the entire video length is within one minute.

 

The application fields of this dataset include:
1. Action Recognition and Classification: Training models to identify and classify different sports movements, enhancing the models’ accuracy in action recognition.
2. Event Detection: Detecting key events in competitions, such as goals, scores, fouls, etc., to provide support for real-time analysis.
3. Athlete Performance Analysis: Analyzing detailed movements and biomechanical states to help improve training and sports strategies.
4. Video Summary Generation: Automatically generating exciting highlights from competitions to attract viewers and enhance the viewing experience.
5. Virtual Referee Assistance: Providing referees with references for auxiliary judgment, reducing misjudgments, and improving the fairness of the competition.
