Straight out the Lab we present StarTrack, our home grown computer vision based tracking solution with dual functionality.

The focus in cricket is typically on the batsman or the bowler. They are the ‘heroes’ and the story is never told from the fielders’ point of view, largely because it is impossible for broadcast cameras to cover every angle and part of the field.

The first feature of StarTrack solves this problem. Developed in collaboration with The Computer Vision team at our Center of Excellence for AI & Machine Learning at IIIT Hyderabad, we now have a fully automated machine learning algorithm that can live track and display the positions of 11 fielders on the screen.

Besides positions, the tracking system also automatically computes statistics such as the velocity with which they are moving, distance between two fielders, the distance they are travelling and more.
