Week 2 Friday (Analyzing Data)

I realized that I had forgot to write down the coordinates, as calculated by the freshman's model. I had simply done the math that found the difference between their coordinates and the exact coordinates I had found. Thus, I began the day by redoing those calculations to ensure I had the adequate data to refer back to in case I needed to do some more analysis or verify the accuracy of my calculations.

I finished analyzing all my data once this was completed, and I found some pretty clear results. Although, I recognize that there were inaccuracies in finding the supposed "exact location" on the ice, due to the inherent angle that the camera was placed at. However, I tried to account for this issue by using multiple scales to decrease the error that was present.

Either way, I found from 31 frames over a span of 2 minutes and 35 seconds that our program was on average a little over 1.58 feet more accurate than the freshman's coordinate mapping. This difference was quite noticeable during many situations where their projection had players that were actually inside the center circle placed outside of it.  Thus, I think it is fair to conclude that the method of mapping we are implementing is more accurate, but we would have to ensure that this conclusion is not the result of the aforementioned error. Now, we might have to consider why this method is more accurate.
