the library is Supervision, open-sourced by Roboflow. point it at match footage and it tracks every player and the ball in real time, tagging zones, speeds and teams.
from there:
auto-cut viral highlights for football pages turn the tracking into xG and pressing stats and sell it as a data feed build scouting reports 2nd and 3rd-division clubs can’t otherwise afford
what used to take 5-10 editors clicking frame by frame now runs as one script on a cheap server, in seconds.
