What is Opta Vision? (01:49)

The Four Stages In The Opta Vision Process

Tracking Data Collection

Match footage is collected from either in-stadia cameras or remote feeds.

Event Data Collection

Highly skilled analysts use bespoke software to collect consistent, accurate event data.

Data Synchronisation

Synchronisation of event and tracking data takes place in parallel with live, human-led, QA.

AI Modelling

AI is applied live to enrich data and generate new data points and predictive metrics.

Available Through Opta Vision

Line Breaking Passes

Using on-field player positional data captured by tracking sources, our AI technology accurately captures all situations where a player’s pass successfully breaks an opposition line, which is recorded as a qualifier to a pass.

Pressure Intensity

Pressure Intensity automatically identifies when defensive players are approaching the player in possession with the aim of winning the ball back or limiting passing options. Taking into account the three closest opposition players to the ball, a pressure level is captured for every open play pass.

Opta Vision Models

Other Opta Vision outputs include pass prediction metrics, including Expected Pass Completion (xP), Pass Option Quality, Pass Options and Availability, as well as Shape Analysis insights and Expected Threat (xT).

3D Goal Animations

Generate a 3D animation of goals as they go happen to share the moment with fans. Options Include:

Simple Goal Highlights are available instantly: includes event, player and team names.

Enriched Goal Highlights are available 3 minutes later: Includes xG, Pressure, xP, and more.

The Opta Vision Difference

Access Opta Vision metrics as the action unfolds to feed directly into analysis as the game is happening.

Live data, captured remotely using computer vision technology, allows us to cover more matches to a higher standard than ever before.

Opta Vision uses video, rather than freeze frame technology, to ensure we’re taking every movement of every player into consideration.

Our live QA process keeps a human in the loop to increase accuracy level and deliver the most useable data.
