500 Hz Sensor Balls & Optical Mesh
Semi-automated offside technology (SAOT) represents the pinnacle of computer vision and sensor fusion in world football.
- **The Connected Ball:** An inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor suspended inside the match ball transmits positional data 500 times per second to capture the exact millisecond of pass release.
- **29-Point Skeletal Tracking:** Twelve tracking cameras mounted beneath stadium roofs map 29 points on each player's body 50 times per second, generating an automated 3D offside line in under five seconds.
