Students develop system to select cricket highlights

Passions for the sport of cricket and image processing came together in an impressive way for three students in a master’s class at Waterloo Engineering.

The project they produced uses deep-learning artificial intelligence (AI) to select highlights from hours of match video by recognizing the gestures made by umpires after significant plays.

“The umpire is shown almost every time after these events,” said Aravind Ravi, who is doing a graduate degree in systems design engineering. “We just used that.”
