The present invention refers to the problem of the automatic detection of events in sport field, in particular Goal/NoGoal events by signalling to the mach management, which can autonomously take the final decision upon the event. The system is not invasive for the field structures, neither it requires to interrupt the game or to modify the rules thereof, but it only aims at detecting objectively the event occurrence and at providing support in the referees' decisions by means of specific signalling of the detected events.

Method and system for the automatic detection of events in sport fields

The present invention relates to a system for detecting and classifying events during motion actions, in particular 'offside' event in the football game. The system allows determining such event in a real-time and semi-automatic context, by taking into account the variability of the environmental conditions and of the dynamics of the events which can be traced back to the offside. The present invention proposes itself with a not-invasive technique, compatible with the usual course of the match.

Method and system for the detection and the classification of events during motion actions

A method and a system for measurement of the relative position of an object with respect to a point of reference which includes acquiring a plurality of images, each of said images being adapted to display the point of reference, processing each image of the plurality of acquired images, the step of processing each image further including the step of recognizing the object inside each of the images performed by a classifier and training with examples adapted to the construction of the classifier, and computing the relative position of the object with respect to the point of reference.
