Multicamera to bodytrack a basketball game

Hi Ferran,

To cover an entire basketball court, you will need more than one camera. If we consider the playing area of a basketball court is 28m in length and 15m wide, I think you will need at least 10 ZED2i to cover the whole space.
We recommend placing the camera at around 3m height slightly looking downward. You need to make sure the players are always fully visible to the cameras, from head to toe.

In this configuration, it won’t be possible to directly connect all the cameras by USB to a single computer, you will need to connect each camera to a ZED Box that will run the ZED SDK.

Then, all the ZED Boxes will send their body tracking data to a computer that will fuse all these data (with the ZED SDK and the new fusion module: https://www.stereolabs.com/docs/fusion/overview/). The ZED Boxes and the computer have to be on the same local network for the data to be transmitted.

For the moment, the fusion module can only fuse skeleton data, it’s not currently possible to do the same for the ball tracking.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Best regards,
Benjamin Vallon
