Week 3 Tuesday (Player Identification)

I had to first recognize what the freshman had done with their project in order to compare it to the broadcast system. Yesterday, I figured out the number of pixels in a screenshot. It turns out that that number of pixels is the same number for a screenshot on the broadcast footage. Thus, if we were to compare the two in the sense of pixel count, there would be no difference. However, the things that will come into effect are the number of players that are in each frame (when randomly selected), and also how much the camera is zoomed in (only broadcast footage could zoom in).

If I can find solid numbers here, then I can compare the two systems and conclude upon what system we believe is best suited for this task. I looked through the information on the computer to see if there was any other information I could find to compare the two systems. However, there was no code I could find for the identification of which players was which. In fact, I could not even find any histograms detailing their data, so I guess I will simply have to look to my method of comparison.

Later, I started to spend some solid time thinking about the similarities between Tyler and Benedict Cumberbatch. In fact, I even found the courage to ask him about that similarity, because it truly is uncanny. You should take a look for yourself.
