The smart goal monitoring system

Abstract

In the current era of rapid technology development, many researchers compete each other to make an automated and integrated system. Since soccer is a favorite sport of all ages, a goal monitoring system is very needed, especially goal detection. The goal monitoring system generates fair play and avoids human error on soccer match. It will be very useful to help referee work. The system runs through sensor, image processing, and final decision. Sensor as object reader will activate the camera at many angles. Combining Circle Hough Transform (CHT) with real-time Color Ball Tracking produces a progressive method to process ball detection. The referees use collaboration tool to get the information. Hence, the referees can be collaborated each other to decide a goal on the match better. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
