Week 3 Thursday (Creating Clippings)



There was no staff meeting today, as Joe had a different place to be at. Thus, I began the day by simply working on creating screenshots from the three fixed focal length camera. I then followed that up by taking clipping of the jersey area for all the players on the ice. I was planning on running those clippings through the python program that Joe found yesterday. I finished making quite a few clippings, but then I realized that I didn't need to make those clippings because the freshman had already taken those cutouts during their time working on the project.

Thus, I switched focus after lunch. I went back to the screenshots I used a couple of days ago to find the percentage of players in each frame. I went back to the source broadcast video and got some more screenshots, so that I could have more jersey clippings to compare with the three fixed camera clippings.

Then, I spent the remaining time in the day working with those screenshots. I used image J to draw a box around that space that I wanted to save. I then duplicated that area and saved it as a file, creating the appropriate clipping. In the next few days, I will analyze those clippings to determine if the broadcast system produces more accurate player identification
