Solution Provided by Cplus Soft

AI Rekognition Model
Used to recognize players in live video streams and track their movements during matches.
Clipper Model
Once players are identified, the Clipper model is used to extract relevant video clips based on player activity, such as goals, assists, or key moments, creating a 10minute highlight reel per player.
OCR Model
The OCR model detects the player’s jersey number by analyzing shirt patterns. This allows us to capture back-view footage when the front view is insufficient or blocked.
Intelligent Video Stitching
The system ensures no repetitive clips are added and that no same timestamp footage is captured from multiple camera angles, creating a smooth and unique highlight reel.
