- data driven analysis in sports

- graphical augmentation and visualization in sports

- automated training assistance in sports

- camera pose and motion tracking in sports

- brave new ideas / extraordinary multimodal solutions in sports

- personal virtual (home) trainers/coaches in sports

- datasets in sports

- graphical effects in sports

- alternative sensing in sports (beyond the visible spectrum)

- multimodal perception in sports

- exploiting physical knowledge in learning systems for sports

- sports knowledge discovery

- narrative generation and narrative analysis in sports

- mobile sports application

- multimedia in sports beyond video, including 3D data and sensor data

 

Submissions can be of varying length from 4 to 8 pages, plus
additional pages for the reference pages. There is no distinction
between long and short papers, but the authors may themselves decide
on the appropriate length of their paper. All papers will undergo the
same review process and review period.

Challenges

--------------

This year again, MMSports carries out a competition where participants
can compete on state-of-the-art problems applied to real-world sport
specific data. The competition is made of individual challenges, each
of which is sponsored by SportRadar with a US$1,000.00 prize. Each
challenge comes with a toolkit describing the task, the dataset and
metrics on which participants will be evaluated. More information on
the challenges will be coming soon.
