Week 6 Friday (Presentation Day)

The Internship has finally come to an end, so these blogs will be coming to an end now as well. I had a great time with my fellow interns, who were all really fun to be around.

Thank you to Joe Pow for having the CIS Internship program and for running the hockey analytics lab. You helped us overcome all the problems we faced during our research.

Now for next year's interns: make sure you find a more expensive place to go to lunch when the imaging science center is paying for it. Start at the most expensive place and work your way down. Then, take advantage of this exceptional meal which you earned with some great negotiating. Make the best out of this opportunity.

Week 6 Wednesday and Thursday

On Wednesday, we went out for lunch on CIS's tab. Then, we had our mock presentation, and our presentation seemed to go pretty smoothly, so there weren't many corrections to make.

On Thursday, I went over the presentation by myself, practicing my lines and fine tuning anything I though wasn't clear enough. Overall, we are done for Friday.

Week 6 Tuesday (Presentation)

     Hockey Analytics Lab

We practiced our presentation today. I will need to change the wording of a couple of slides, in order to explain the challenges we faced and the manual components. Otherwise, it went quite smoothly and we look prepared for Friday.

Week 6 Monday (Presentation)

We spent a lot of time in the morning going through the presentation. First, we did a complete practice run, where Joe timed how long it went. After giving us some general comments, we went through slide by slide, adding in some information and reminding ourselves of certain comments we must make in order to ensure that the story is complete and clear.

I changed one of the screenshots into a video, and I edited appropriately. I also redid the calculations for player identification in order to not account for the numbers on the sleeves, as Joe warned that those are not clear enough to use. I made a couple other edits, but now it is just back to practicing. 

Week 5 Friday (Power Point)

I presented the Power Point in the morning to Joe, and we found a few kinks that needed to be worked out. I cut the videos appropriately, and then I reorganized those slides to have better flow. We made some more changes to the conclusion slides as well. After, that it was just reading it through.

Week 5 Thursday (Power Point)

    

We went over the power point in a pseudo presentation this morning. Emma and I realized that we needed to add more speaker notes, and we also found a couple of places where the story gets choppy and needs reorganizing or additional slides.

I also filled in some gaps that we had in our presentation. I added in some broadcast film, as well as fixed focal length camera film into our introduction. We plan on using that information in order to explain the differences between the two systems.

Joe also found a power point that showed image translation very well in one of the slides. I will use that slide in order to depict that translation, as it appropriately explains what the freshman did.

After adding in some more speaker notes, we should be ready to do a full on presentation practice. 

Week 5 Wednesday (Powerpoint)

I spent time working on adding images to the player identification portion of the power point today. I also went through the screenshots I used to find out what percentage of the players were in the broadcast frame on average. I realized that I accounted for the goalie as well, so I recalculated those measurements, and I added in more frames. I ended up finding that 56 percent of the players were in each frame.

Now, Emma, Joe, and I will simply work to ensure the legitimacy of our player tracking comparisons.
