MultiCAMBA: A system to assist in the broadcasting of sport events

8th International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Computing, Networking and Services (MobiQuitous 2011), 2011

In this demo paper we present MultiCAMBA (Multi-CAMera Broadcasting Assistant), a context– and location–aware system that, using a 3D model updated continuously with real-time data retrieved from the scenario, helps technical directors (TDs) in the live broadcasting task. They can indicate in run-time their interest in certain moving objects or geographic areas, and the system is in charge of selecting the cameras that can provide the kind of view required. To achieve this task, the system continuously recreates the views of the cameras in a 3D scenario, considering possible occlusions among the objects.

Smart Director: An Event-Driven Directing System for Live Broadcasting

ACM Transactions on Multimedia Computing, Communications, and Applications, 2021

Live video broadcasting normally requires a multitude of skills and expertise with domain knowledge to enable multi-camera productions. As the number of cameras keeps increasing, directing a live sports broadcast has now become more complicated and challenging than ever before. The broadcast directors need to be much more concentrated, responsive, and knowledgeable, during the production. To relieve the directors from their intensive efforts, we develop an innovative automated sports broadcast directing system, called Smart Director, which aims at mimicking the typical human-in-the-loop broadcasting process to automatically create near-professional broadcasting programs in real-time by using a set of advanced multi-view video analysis algorithms. Inspired by the so-called “three-event” construction of sports broadcast [ 14 ], we build our system with an event-driven pipeline consisting of three consecutive novel components: (1) the Multi-View Event Localization to detect events by m...
