After last week's progress with comparing the broadcast system to the fixed camera system specifically on the task of locating players, these next two weeks will be dedicated to working on figuring out which system is better for team identification and player identification. I will be specifically working on the player identification part of this task.
It was hard today to find a good place to look for information that I could use to compare the two systems, so I spent the majority of my time looking through the files on the computer and the Wiki. I found a histogram that charted the colors of RIT jerseys, so that would provide very valuable information on team identification.
I decided that the main thing when looking for player identification would follow a similar vein of thought: pixel count. Thus, I used Image J to find out how many pixels were present on the fixed camera system. All three cameras are at the same point with the zoom remaining unchanged. I found that they each had 2073600 pixels in each frame.
To appropriately compare this to the broadcast footage, I must find how many pixels are present on each frame of that footage. I must further adjust the values to account for how zoomed in the camera is, as that should allow for more pixels on the same amount of fabric versus when the camera is not zoomed in. I must also account for the fact that not all players are visible in each broadcast frame to determine which method is more suitable.
