Title
REAL-TIME POSITION ANALYSIS DURING SOCCER MATCHES
Abstract
During soccer matches a number of doubtful situations arise that cannot be easily judged instantly. This case study presents a web-based GIS application that displays a soccer match in real-time.
The application was developed by DFC Software Engineering for the BIPS™ project (Ball Intelligent Positioning System). It's purpose is to be able to analyse in real-time, the position of all soccer players on the field, or playback at a later time. During such a recording, relevant events such as goal, ball out, offside, etc. are also detected and reported.
The application was developed using the Geomajas framework, allowing an easy way of drawing the players, referees and balls on the playing field. This application also demonstrates how the Geomajas framework can be used to apply business logic based upon geographic relations on-the-fly between different objects.
In this presentation we will discuss which issues needed to be solved and discuss the design decisions which were made. Subsequently we will focus on some real-live situations where dynamic GIS data triggers the need for business logic.
