The Kognia Sports Intelligence company has developed artificial intelligence software, unique in the market, which allows us to analyze the game from a tactical point of view in a fully automated way. No other previous method had managed to meet these parameters that avoid manual processing while gaining objectivity when analyzing the game. And all in real time so that the user can make immediate decisions in the middle of the game, beyond speeding up the analysis in the preparation of the games, at halftime or at the end of the game.
The software is structured around three blocks: the automated production of videos of matches and training sessions, the tactical analysis that automatically detects the situations that develop during the match by the teams and, finally, the tool la Manual Tagging tool, which allows video analyst users to generate cuts and additional video clips of specific situations that complement the automatic analysis of the game.
All this is possible thanks to the installation of a revolutionary hardware and software that consists of a set of three cameras that are installed in the stadium and that allow capturing the images of the game, which are treated and converted into data for analysis through advanced computer vision techniques, and by Kognia’s proprietary software algorithms, applying sophisticated machine learning methods.
