Leveraging spatio-temporal soccer data to define a graphical query language for game recordings
(2019)
For professional soccer clubs, performance and video analysis are an integral part of the preparation and post-processing of games. Coaches, scouts, and video analysts extract information about strengths and weaknesses of their team as well as opponents by manually analyzing video recordings of past games. Since video recordings are an unstructured data source, it is a complex and time-intensive task to find specific game situations and identify similar patterns. In this paper, we present a novel approach to detect patterns and situations (e.g., playmaking and ball passing of midfielders) based on trajectory data. The application uses the metaphor of a tactic board to offer a graphical query language. With this interactive tactic board, the user can model a game situation or mark a specific situation in the video recording for which all matching occurrences in various games are immediately displayed, and the user can directly jump to the corresponding game scene. Through the additional visualization of key performance indicators (e.g.,the physical load of the players), the user can get a better overall assessment of situations. With the capabilities to find specific game situations and complex patterns in video recordings, the interactive tactic board serves as a useful tool to improve the video analysis process of professional sports teams.
Rapid advances in location-acquisition technologies have led to large amounts of trajectory data. This data is the foundation for a broad spectrum of services driven and improved by trajectory data mining. However, for hybrid transactional and analytical workloads, the storing and processing of rapidly accumulated trajectory data is a non-trivial task. In this paper, we present a detailed survey about state-of-the-art trajectory data management systems. To determine the relevant aspects and requirements for such systems, we developed a trajectory data mining framework, which summarizes the different steps in the trajectory data mining process. Based on the derived requirements, we analyze different concepts to store, compress, index, and process spatio-temporal data. There are various trajectory management systems, which are optimized for scalability, data footprint reduction, elasticity, or query performance. To get a comprehensive overview, we describe and compare different exciting systems. Additionally, the observed similarities in the general structure of different systems are consolidated in a general blueprint of trajectory management systems.
