Software Engineering Consultant
Precision Point Systems
02.2020 - 07.2021
- Engaged to evaluate and refine a sophisticated computer vision system designed for precise tracking of a football on the field.
- This project leveraged advanced C / C++ / GoLang programming to manage an array of high-resolution cameras monitoring the game in real-time.
- Our task involved capturing images from these cameras and employing a custom AI model that I trained to determine the exact position of the football with pinpoint accuracy.
- OpenCV was integral throughout this process.
- This initiative not only showcased cutting-edge technology in sports analytics but also expanded the capabilities of computer vision applications in dynamic environments.
- Stabilized the system for reliable use during live games.
- Successfully deployed the system for UCONN football games at Rentschler Field.
- Achieved measurement accuracy down to the pixel level from the camera, equivalent to approximately half an inch.
