Simple Set-up

Two cameras, thousands of data points.

All you need are clear pitch markings and a stationary camera correctly positioned at each end. Then Vision AI processes the live video feeds to deliver real-time detections – automatically producing animated overlays and ball clips, and coding raw ball data.

FAQs

Not getting the answers you need?

To run Vision AI you’ll need two stable, high-quality cameras. For the best results:

  • Place a stationary camera at each end (positioned behind the bowler)
  • Mount each camera at 10m or higher for clear visibility over the umpire
  • Ideally angle the camera between 0° and 8° off-centre
  • 1080p video at 25fps or 50fps progressive scan
  • Zoom in so that only one pitch length either side of the wickets is visible
  • Set the camera for the best contrast, sharpness, exposure, and shutter speed for the ultimate tracking accuracy.

If you need a hand, NV Play also provides a Setup Assistant to help check your camera quality and configuration.

Vision AI will still attempt detections, but it might not be as accurate. The Setup Assistant will highlight issues like low height, poor zoom, or unstable footage, so you can make any changes needed to improve your results.

Vision AI offers up some of the deepest insights in the game. Including:

  • Ball tracking and trajectory visualisations
  • Pitch map graphics, showing line and length zones
  • Bowler release measurements
  • Pitch map measurements
  • Ball arrival measurements
  • Keeper up/back detection
  • Bowler over/around-wicket detection
  • Feet movement
  • Wide on crease events
  • Appeal events
  • Automatically generated ball clips

It does both. Vision AI can run in real time during a match, or process recorded video after play. For live mode you’ll need the right hardware and stable video input.

Vision AI automates most coding tasks, but some events might be flagged with low confidence. These can then be reviewed or corrected by the scorer or analyst if needed. You can also add to the Vision AI coding with your own coding.

Yes. Vision AI can be used at all levels of the game – from elite programmes to community clubs. All you need is the right camera setup, and you’re good to go.
