• Abstract summary: We propose a system for automatically determining swimmer stroke rates from overhead race video (ORV) General ORV is defined as any footage of swimmers in competition, taken for the purposes of viewing or analysis. We detail how to create a system that will automatically collect swimmer stroke rates in any competition, given the video of the competition of interest.

• Abstract: In this work, we propose a swimming analytics system for automatically determining swimmer stroke rates from overhead race video (ORV). General ORV is defined as any footage of swimmers in competition, taken for the purposes of viewing or analysis. Examples of this are footage from live streams, broadcasts, or specialized camera equipment, with or without camera motion. These are the most typical forms of swimming competition footage. We detail how to create a system that will automatically collect swimmer stroke rates in any competition, given the video of the competition of interest. With this information, better systems can be created and additions to our analytics system can be proposed to automatically extract other swimming metrics of interest.

  We present a first investigation of event-based Video Frame Interpolation (VFI) models for generating sports slow-motion videos. Particularly, we design and implement a bi-camera recording setup, including an RGB and an event-based camera to capture sports videos, to temporally align and spatially register both cameras. Our experimental validation demonstrates that TimeLens, an off-the-shelf event-based VFI model, can effectively generate slow-motion footage for sports videos.
