It is called “automated official.” The NBA is used to set more calls

The game, in real time with the naked eye, maybe she would look very close to violation. Lebron James jumped, got the right hand on the ball with a few tenths of tenth games remaining seconds and stretched it through the basket to yeah Los Angeles Lakers The last season of winning the tooth.

Judges on the floor are properly called. The Video Replay supported your call and the Lakeholders received victory over Indiana Pacers.

It turns out there was not close at all.

The NBA It has a relatively new tool called “an automated clerk”, and robotic eyes that are now accompanied almost everything at basketball courts showed that James had committed offensive baskets anywhere nearby. It was not necessary to decide on things in that case – again, people realized that right – but the NBA is increasingly and more to ensure they are playing as they play properly.

“It turns out that computers are really good at it,” Evan Vasch said, NBA executive vice president overseeing a basketball strategy and analytics. “So if we can invest in this technology to get more calls right to objective, we do two things.

“One, accuracy on these calls, by definition, growths that we do not focus on those calls, and in turn allows them to focus on a really difficult judgment and actually get them there and actually increase the toughness.” We think they are there and actually increase it ways to become at the same time. “We think it’s there and we’re actually increasing the toughness.” We think it’s so skilled there and actually increase the toughness. “

The basketball, of course, is not alone in moving towards the multi-table service.

Die robots are invited to Main baseball Next season; People will still refer calls, but teams can cause calls with a ball or strike and automatic system will determine if these challenges are successful. Many main tennis tournaments, even VimbledonThey replaced the lines of Judge Electronic Lines. Football has technology to say Judges if the ball completely crossed the target line or if someone turned off, calls to be just guessing in real time.

It is important to note that the NBA judges are not replaced. Technology only helps; Instead of six human eyes in court, now six human eyes and lots of camera lenses that are there to collect as much data as the League can think.

“Let’s go right” Milwaukee Bucks Coach Doc Rivers said. “And let’s get faster.”

These are goals, the NBA insists. The use of technology helps the game flow thanks to shorter examinations, helps in accuracy and also provides transparency to display fans and players that are computerized images to explain how calls are made.

Cameras in arenas help in precise calls, as they are along the secondary and basic pain – who was excluded, whether it was outstanding if the blocked recordings were good or were the goalkeeper committed on those games.

“What we do is accompanied by a pile of items in space with amazing precision,” Vasch said. “We follow basketball, fingers, feet, heads, arms, all parts of the body. And there is an element of machine learning and artificial intelligence to build these algorithms at the top to know what happened to a basketball perspective.”

The technology is not limited to calls or non-calls.

Some judges wore in this prejudice in sales such as League Tinkers with ways of a better communication method. In the League of sending warning of sending warning of smart conversations on decisions on calls. And in the summer league this year, there was even a sensor set inside the ball to collect data. The sensor strives about the same as raisins. Hundreds of players used the ball, which usually strives about 600 grams somewhere; No one noticed that it was more serious than usual.

In the end, it is all that the product is better.

“It was actually a ton of openness than judges and a judge regarding the implementation of this technology,” Vasech said. “It allows them to focus on things that train for this job.”
