Whitepaper: Big Data and Artificial Intelligence applied to Sport

Artificial intelligence and big data are two of the most disruptive technology innovation of our lifetime, and there is a lot of discussion going on about their potential and possible applications. Find out how these trends have revolutionized sport and what role…

Why are vision systems so interesting for sports applications?

When athletes compete against each other, vision systems are often involved to check referee decisions, create statistics, or make training more effective. Because with high-resolution images, details can be recognised that are hardly visible to the human eye: Whether it is the…

Embedded vision systems are on the rise

In computer vision, embedded vision is no longer only a buzzword, but has now established itself in many applications. From quality control in typical industrial applications such as battery inspection and robot-assisted pick-and-place systems, to non-industrial applications in the sports or entertainment…

More speed thanks to TCP offload

TCP offload means that TCP network packets are unpacked from the network card and assembled into larger segments. This task is usually done by the CPU but can be done to a large extent on hardware with modern network set-ups. Another…
