Play the match with both teams, the referee and the ball followed frame by frame, and the same moment on a radar and a 3D pitch in real metres. Overlays are drawn over the video, never burned into it, so every layer switches on and off.
On the video
Players, goalkeepers, the referee and the ball are detected and followed through the match, and each player is coloured by his team from the shirt the camera sees.
In metres
Positions are worked out on the real pitch from its painted lines, in every frame, so the radar and the 3D pitch show where each player actually stood. Turn the 3D pitch, fly round it, or play it side by side with the video.
01Watching
The controls an analyst reaches for on a Monday morning.
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Frame by frame | The arrow keys step one frame and pause; with Shift, one second. The timeline has one step per frame and shows the time under the pointer. |
| Zoom | The mouse wheel zooms the video where you point, and the drawings stay on their players. |
| Skip dead time | Playback jumps over broadcast replays and close-ups; seek into one and it plays. |
| Match clock | On broadcast footage the timeline is linked to the score-bug clock, so events sit at their real match minute. |
| Light copy | A smaller copy of the video for staff watching from home on a slow connection, frame for frame the same. |
| Light and dark | Every page follows your device, or the switch you choose. |
02Footage
Before anything runs, every upload is checked: whether players are big enough on the picture, whether shirt numbers can be read, and whether the kits can be told apart.
Broadcast and manned cameras following the play are what SeeKick is built and measured on. Cuts, replays, close-ups and crowd shots are recognised and left out rather than followed.
Wide fixed cameras are analysed in tiles so far players are still found. Running data works; shirt numbers rarely read at that size, so most names come from you, and the match carries a "reduced accuracy" badge saying why.
If the footage cannot give good results, you are told before the analysis, not after it.
03Limits
Matches are analysed after the upload: overnight for a full match.
A player off the picture is not tracked, and every figure says how much of the match each player was on camera.
Typically one to two metres, so a radar dot is a good position, not a survey.
