AutoScout
301 CSL
Forget Cam Newton’s throwing arm or Julio Jones’ magical receiving hands: The next NFL standout might just be AutoScout. Started at Illinois and commercialized at the Advanced Digital Sciences Center in Singapore, AutoScout enables automated video analysis for football and other sports. Using proprietary automated computer vision techniques to infer camera motion, track player movements, and understand player actions, AutoScout can make automated inferences that can help develop team strategies and give teams a competitive advantage.
Information and Communication Technology Methods for Assisting Framers in Developing Countries
368 CSL
The world food supply must continue to increase to keep up with the growing population. A substantial number of farmers in developing countries, that may not have running water or electricity, do however use cellphones. See how we can use this technology to assist these farmers in monitoring stored grain and improving market sales to prevent their significant post-harvest food loss.
