Computer Vision Handball Analysis

This Project is Currently in Work

⚠️ Work in Progress!

This project is under active development. Features and details may change as work continues.

Project Overview: Handball AI Tool

My vision is to revolutionize handball analytics with an AI‐powered system that tracks player movements in real time, converts this data into a dynamic 2D tactical board, and streams live games. Unlike current systems that are prohibitively expensive, our solution is designed to be either free or available at a very modest price, ensuring fair compensation for work while making advanced analytics accessible to all.

In addition to real-time tracking, our platform integrates a live ticker—similar to those used in professional games—by connecting to the Nuliga LiveTicker. This ticker displays the current score and indicates which team is in attack mode, providing immediate, actionable insights during games. Coaches, teams, and fans alike will benefit from a seamless, cost-effective tool that enhances game strategy, performance analysis, and overall fan engagement.

The tool should also automatically change the perspective of different cameras (interest based capturing), and cut down the video when nothing happens (like during a timeout). An automatic highlight cutter should also be involved in it.
