- Using high frame rates to capture high speed motorcycle movements
The cameras’ high frame rate enables raceway managers to capture the exact movements of a motorcycle, no matter how fast it is moving. As a result, violations of on-track rules—such as abusing track limits, moving under braking, overtaking at no overtaking zone, etc.—are detected much more easily which, in turn, means that decisions on penalties can be made more quickly and accurately.
- Using AI to detect objects and activities
They have also installed cameras equipped with DeepinView technology which brings all the power of AI-enhanced image processing to help improve safety still further. The race management team has trained these cameras to detect various object and activity classifications, and to give warnings if something is wrong.
- Using mobile cameras for rescue operations
Despite all these measures, accidents can still happen. Should one occur, the rescue operations can be recorded by a mobile onboard network camera in the rescue vehicle or ambulance.
Improving sporting performance
Video is not just used for improving safety and enhancing the management of sporting venues. It has also become a key technology for improving sporting competitiveness. Indeed, increasing numbers of clubs and venues are using video for game analysis in order to improve sporting performance. PTZ cameras are clearly useful here, but so too are specialist panoramic cameras such as Hikvision’s PanoVu series cameras.
An excellent example of this is provided by Dutch football club VV Capelle which has invested in a range of Hikvision cameras to transform its approach to performance analysis and, in turn, improve their performance as a team.
