AI system detects illegal bowling actions in cricket using computer vision

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a deep learning system using computer vision to detect illegal bowling actions in cricket. The system analyzes the angle of a bowler's arm between the shoulder and release frames, flagging deliveries where the angle exceeds a 15-degree threshold as potentially illegal. This novel approach, tested on a dataset of 62 videos, aims to provide real-time monitoring for fair play, though further validation on larger and more diverse datasets is needed for generalizability. AI

IMPACT Could enhance fair play in sports by providing automated real-time officiating.
