01 / The challenge

Another layer of the match.

A broadcast shows the action, but understanding player movement and match patterns needs another layer of information. The project explored how to add that layer to footage on a local computer.

02 / The work

Detection and tracking

Connected frame capture to a football detection model and persistent object tracking. Added team-colour classification, ball stabilisation and smoother overlay movement.

Analysis on the picture

Developed optional layers for possession, movement trails, heatmaps, formation estimates, pass maps and a radar view. Clean and Full modes let the viewer choose the amount of information.

Controls and broadcast output

Exposed monitor selection, confidence thresholds and individual analytical layers in a desktop panel. A separate broadcast window was implemented to combine footage and overlays for capture.

03 / What the work produced

A foundation
to build on.

A local prototype implementation, a modular analysis pipeline and training records across five football-model iterations, covering players, goalkeepers, referees and the ball.

Project context

Archived development captures from SportsOverlay / Odds Vision AI. This research prototype produces analytical estimates that depend on the model, camera view and calibration.
