Brief Bio
Jürgen Metzler received his Diploma in Computer Science from Karlsruhe University in 2006. He currently hold a research position at Fraunhofer IOSB. His research interests are in the field of image exploitation, especially object detection, tracking, re-identification as well as video-based situation reconstruction and awareness for ground- and air-based moving platforms. His PhD topic addresses methods for detection, tracking and re-identification of persons in low-resolution images. He has collected experiences in several visual-assisted soccer projects for 5 years.

Brief Bio
Thomas Pollok received the B.Sc. degree in computer science from the University of Applied Sciences, Karlsruhe, Germany in 2012 and his M.Sc. in computer science at the Berlin Institute of Technology, Berlin, Germany in 2016. To support his Bachelor Thesis at the Computer Vision Laboratory, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich, Switzerland, he received a scholarship in 2011 by the State of Baden-Württemberg. During his studies, he intensively collaborated with the Fraunhofer IOSB in the field of image-based real-time systems where he currently is working towards his PhD. His research interests are in the field of Computer Vision, especially, multi-camera calibration, 3D and 4D scene reconstruction and real-time systems. In this area, he developed a soccer precision trainer prototype that includesa 3D reconstruction and an estimation of the soccer ball trajectory using a mobile stereo camera system.

SCOPE
Computer vision and machine learning techniques, especially Deep Learning are playing an ever-increasing role in the domain of sports. Automatic collection and exploitation of sports data with cameras are of high interest for training purposes, match analysis, statistic collection, referee support, replay creation and many other sports applications. However, there is still need of research and improvements of vision and cognitive based approaches in this domain. The current state-of-the-art systems are able to automatically collect and analyse sports data, however, they have shortcomings in the precision or manual post processing is necessary. This workshop focuses on the application of computer vision approaches in sports. We will explore novel approaches and sophisticated ideas of how vision-assisted systems can improve sports applications.
Topics of Interest
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Detection, tracking and trajectory reconstruction of players and balls
- Deep Learning techniques for classification of sports objects and events
- Prediction of match results
- Automatic statistic collection and analysis
- Player rating
- Novel 2D/3D visualizations in sports
- Recent advances in vision-assisted training support and feedback
