Deep learning AI to analyse cricket strokes and backlift techniques with video (IMAGE)
Caption
Tevin Moodley practices cricket batting in his backyard and does AI research by day. He builds deep learning AI models to analyse batting strokes and identify backlift from video alone. Playing cricket since childhood, he has always had a passion for the sport. Moodley is a lecturer and PhD candidate at the University of Johannesburg. He is co-author of the research published in Nature Scientific Reports: UJ researchers built the first deep learning AI model to spot which backlift technique cricket batters use – straight or lateral. It automates the process of analysing players’ batting backlift technique, using video only. The greatest cricket batsman, Sir Donald Bradman had a a lateral backlift technique.
