Technology and sports have a fairly mixed relationship already. Log on to Twitter during a soccer match (or football as it\u2019s properly known<span style=\"font-size: 1.3em;\">\u2022<\/span> and as well as people tweeting ambiguous statements like \u201cYESSS\u201d and \u201coh no mate\u201d to about 20,000 inexplicable retweets, you\u2019ll likely see a lot of complaints about the video assistant referee (VAR) and occasionally goal-line technology not doing its job. Fans of Scottish football team Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC experienced a new hilarious technological glitch during a match last weekend, but in all honesty, you\u2019d be hard-pressed to say it didn\u2019t improve the viewing experience dramatically.<\/p>\n<p>The club announced a few weeks ago it was moving from using human camera operators to cameras controlled by AI. The club proudly announced at the time the new \u201cPixellot system uses cameras with in-built, AI, ball-tracking technology\u201d and would be used to capture HD footage of all home matches at Caledonian Stadium, which would be broadcast directly to season-ticket holders\u2019 homes. The AI camera appeared to mistake the man\u2019s bald head for the ball for a lot of the match, repeatedly swinging back to follow the linesman instead of the actual game. Many viewers complained they missed their team scoring a goal because the camera \u201ckept thinking the Lino bald head was the ball,\u201d and some even suggested the club would have to provide the linesman with a toupe or hat.<\/p>\n<p>With no fans allowed in the stadium due to Covid-19 restrictions, the fans of Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC and their opponents Ayr United could only watch via the cameras, and so were treated to mostly a view of the linesman\u2019s head instead of any exciting moments of the match that were occurring off-camera, though some fans saw this as a bonus given the usual quality of performance. The cognitive capabilities of current architectures are very limited, using only a simplified version of what intelligence is capable of. For instance, the human mind has come up with ways to reason beyond measure and logical explanations to different occurrences in life. What would have been otherwise straightforward, an equivalently difficult problem may be challenging to solve computationally as opposed to using the human mind. This gives rise to two classes of models: structuralist and functionalist. The structural models aim to loosely mimic the basic intelligence operations of the mind such as reasoning and logic. The functional model refers to the correlating data to its computed counterpart. The overall research goal of artificial intelligence is to create technology that allows computers and machines to function intelligently. The general problem of simulating (or creating) intelligence has been broken down into sub-problems. These consist of particular traits or capabilities that researchers expect an intelligent system to display. That\u2019s all for today.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for watching.<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"> <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/lifeboat.com\/blog\/2020\/11\/ai-camera-mistakes-soccer-refs-bald-head-for-ball\">Continue reading \u201cAI Camera Mistakes Soccer Ref\u2019s Bald Head For Ball\u201d | &gt;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello World.
