My interests and background education on
formal methods (mathematical logic, theoretical computer science, game
theory) have
led me to research into forms of inductive
reasoning, learning, coordination, cooperation, teamwork and the like,
all issues of primary practical importance in team sports!
Video-based analysis of sport events is an important tool in analysis
of individual players' performance and sport teams, e.g. match
analysis; but usually it requires many hours of manual
work. Multimedia (video-based) Information Retrieval methods
can provide help in automating many of those tasks.
In the research group on Adaptive
Information Retrieval I run, our interests in Sport & Technology are:
- tracking of athletes/players
- ball tracking
- motion data processing and analysis
- individual activity detection, recognition and analysis
- team (multi-agent) activity detection, recognition and analysis
If you'd like to know more about us, send me mail at
dit.unitn.it, the userid is agostini.
M.Sc. thesis proposals in a spectrum of
applications of IR technology to sport are available.
[Closing date: 31 June 2008]
If some of our activities is of interest, I would be delighted to hear
from you.
