AISpotter releases live stream highlight clipping for UEFA EURO 2020
New service reduces clipping from 5 minutes to 5 seconds and publishing can be done immediately
Oulu, Finland (June 17th, 2021)
YLE Sports (Finnish Broadcasting Company) is utilizing automated live video clipping for goals during the EURO 2020 tournament. Our automated and fast service finds the goals and creates accurate video clips available immediately. The service fulfils the growing needs for fast content creation and sharing and makes it possible for fans to experience and relive the success of their favourite teams instantly.
On top of the live video clipping our AI algorithm finds the key events from each game and puts together automated video highlights. Those highlight reels are ready for sharing in less than 10 minutes after the game is over. And automatically created video content can be viewed through YLE Areena in the EURO 2020 goal clip series.
How video analysis is done?
Once again the process is automated end to end. Our cloud based service is receiving live video stream directly from YLE and connecting it with our analyzing algorithm. The AI algorithm detects goals directly from live stream. When a goal is detected a video clip is created and pushed within seconds back to YLE. Inside YLE the clip is then automatically routed to YLE Areena and published.
Our intelligent video analysis service is supporting YLE’s development strategy, as they are constantly seeking ways to utilize the latest technologies in the future media services. Before launching the service for EURO 2020 we ran a project for YLE where live analysis from Coppa Italia final was performed.
Video analysis benefits
Automated video analysis provides additional content, simplifies highlight creation and sharing processes and saves both time and resources.
Also, our innovative service can produce and deliver numerical data as a result of video analysis – time stamps from detected events. This numerical information can be delivered separately or together with the video clips. This numerical event data can be shared for example as JSON file format.
In case video volumes are high or there is a need to analyze multiple simultaneous live video streams we can deploy edge computing solutions and integrate our service seamlessly to the existing infrastructure in place. This solution minimizes delays in data transfer and our flexible setup makes it possible to scale computing capacity according to the used video volumes.
