“…The Summer Olympic Games provide an ongoing platform to study the evolution of sport and sporting behaviors of elite athletes across a wide range of disciplines that are also practiced by millions of amateur sportsmen and sportswomen worldwide. Summer Olympic sports have been televised for more than seven decades with a growing international audience now exceeding 35 billion viewers [1,2]. Every current Olympic event is broadcast (and recorded) on television and extensively distributed on a variety of social media platforms for current and future audiences interested in viewing or participating in sport [3][4][5].…”

Biologically effective solar ultraviolet exposures and the potential skin cancer risk for individual gold medalists of the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympic Games

Personal solar ultraviolet radiation exposure models were developed for 144 Olympic events scheduled outdoors from across the 33 sport disciplines that will compete in Tokyo between 24 July and 9 August 2020. Ambient exposure models were developed from existing atmospheric parameters measured over Tokyo (35.7°N 139.7°E) and were used to weight erythemally effective solar ultraviolet exposure to gold medalists, taking into account body posture and expected protection by competitor's clothing which was assessed in comparison to respective medalists of the 2016 Rio Olympics. Individual exposure models consider the ultraviolet surface albedo (lawn, concrete, water or sand) and timing of daily events held within Olympic venues. Exposure assessments are presented, including assessments of all preliminary rounds and qualifiers. Within scheduled outdoor events, we award first place (representing the highest and most harmful UV exposure) to the women's tennis singles (1680 J/m 2 ), second to men's golf (1530 J/ m 2 ) and third to the men's cycling road race (941 J/m 2 ) for the highest expected erythemally effective solar ultraviolet radiation exposures of the 2020 Tokyo Games. The highest expected solar ultraviolet exposures for nations expected to win greater than three gold medals among the outdoor events were found to occur in athletes from Kenya followed closely by the United States and Hungary. Gold medalists from South Korea were found to demonstrate the highest level of sun protection due to clothing at the 2016 Rio Games, and are thus expected to receive the greatest relative reduction in erythemally effective exposure during the 2020 Tokyo Games.

“…Sports broadcasting is a storytelling process [29], during which the director leverages multiple cameras placed in a variety of places (e.g., Figure 1 (a)) throughout the stadium to bring the viewers an immersive feeling in the game. In a soccer broadcast, for example, the director typically uses a main camera to cover the general action of the game, a "hero camera" to take the close-ups of outstanding efforts, and some "special-assignment" cameras to cover specific action shots, such as "foul" and "offside" [29]. During the broadcasting, the directors play a crucial role in the production team (e.g., Figure 1 (b) shows a typical production team layout in an outside broadcasting vehicle), who are in charge of directing cameras, slow-motion replays and visual graphics.…”

“…Goldlust [1,14] suggests the broadcast of sports is constructed of three simultaneously occurring events: the sport event, stadium event, and medium event, where the sport event is defined as the actions on the field as well as related activities taking place on the sidelines. As a storyteller, the director should understand the action flow of the sport and anticipate the action point [29,58], thus captures the critical actions to present the viewer a comprehensive story. Hence, we argue that the broadcast directing is basically an event-driven process.…”

“…Driven by aforementioned event modules, the learning-based scheduler ABS is invented to determine how to deliver the final broadcasting story. In order to capture the viewer's emotions, a story should contains three parts: the beginning, the middle, and the end [29]. Hence, our scheduler is designed to select clips for "event-in-progress", "event-begin" and "event-end" to composite an event story.…”

Live video broadcasting normally requires a multitude of skills and expertise with domain knowledge to enable multi-camera productions. As the number of cameras keeps increasing, directing a live sports broadcast has now become more complicated and challenging than ever before. The broadcast directors need to be much more concentrated, responsive, and knowledgeable, during the production. To relieve the directors from their intensive efforts, we develop an innovative automated sports broadcast directing system, called Smart Director, which aims at mimicking the typical human-in-the-loop broadcasting process to automatically create near-professional broadcasting programs in real-time by using a set of advanced multi-view video analysis algorithms. Inspired by the so-called “three-event” construction of sports broadcast [ 14 ], we build our system with an event-driven pipeline consisting of three consecutive novel components: (1) the Multi-View Event Localization to detect events by modeling multi-view correlations, (2) the Multi-View Highlight Detection to rank camera views by the visual importance for view selection, and (3) the Auto-Broadcasting Scheduler to control the production of broadcasting videos. To our best knowledge, our system is the first end-to-end automated directing system for multi-camera sports broadcasting, completely driven by the semantic understanding of sports events. It is also the first system to solve the novel problem of multi-view joint event detection by cross-view relation modeling. We conduct both objective and subjective evaluations on a real-world multi-camera soccer dataset, which demonstrate the quality of our auto-generated videos is comparable to that of the human-directed videos. Thanks to its faster response, our system is able to capture more fast-passing and short-duration events which are usually missed by human directors.
