AutoSTATS’ artificial intelligence and computer vision technology is capable of collecting player-tracking data through broadcast video. Orlando will use the software to evaluate potential draft picks playing at the college level.
Using the platform, the Magic can collect data directly from any television broadcast of any NCAA basketball game without the need for access to data streams from college venues. According to STATS, basketball tracking data collected through broadcast video has tested equally accurate to data gathered using in-venue hardware, such as optical cameras.
