Real-time moving object detection technology and trial of stone location delivery at a curling venue

Abstract

NTT Service Evolution Laboratories is researching and developing tracking technology combined with video understanding as part of efforts to develop advanced video services. This technology features both high recognition performance and a short processing time and shows promise for application to public event viewings and stadium solutions. This article introduces a trial conducted at the 2017 Sapporo Asian Winter Games in which this technology was applied to deliver stone location information to spectators at a curling venue.
