Sports stadiums and event venues introduce multiple challenges for facility operators attempting to create a safe and enjoyable fan experience. It is critical to ensure fan safety and provide fans with a positive event experience. Computer vision applications can enhance the fan experience by providing real-time statistics and player information on scoreboards or mobile apps during the event. This validation project focused primarily on safety and crowd management use cases. The following five (5) use cases were tested during this project. This section of the paper covers the testing methodology and results.
- People Counting
- Queue Capacity
- Overcrowding Detection
- Perimeter Intrusion
- Lost Child Search
