[The Epoch Times, November 4, 2023](The Epoch Times reporter Lai Yourung reported in Tainan, Taiwan) The “2023 Technology Baseball Carnival” was held at the Tainan Asia-Pacific International Baseball Training Center on the 4th. It invited Vice President Lai Qingde, Tainan Mayor Huang Weizhe, Wu Chengwen, Chairman of the National Sports Science Center, Hong Shushu, Chairman of Catcher Technology, Liu Wenxiong, Dean of Industrial Research Institute, and National Players Ye Zhixian and Shen Qingwen of the Giants Little League team jointly served as the kick-off guests to kick off the event.
Vice President Lai said that the government will continue to support the development of sports technology. In the future, artificial intelligence may be used to collect military intelligence on the baseball field, such as players’ competition habits and predicting players’ determination, which will be very helpful for international competitions, and baseball culture It is an important part of future social civilization, and the introduction of science and technology is even more indispensable. In the future, we will work together on the road to a healthy Taiwan to make Taiwanese people healthier, and we also hope that the world will embrace Taiwan.
Huang Weizhe detailed the preparation process of the Asia-Pacific Baseball Training Center. He said that during his tenure as mayor, Vice President Lai began to plan the Tainan Asia-Pacific International Baseball Training Center. Among them, the Little League Baseball Stadium was built by former Mayor Lai and former Mayor Li Mengyan. Construction was contracted during his tenure, and the construction of the baseball stadium was contracted when he was mayor. When completed next year, it will provide a baseball stadium with international baseball stadium specifications and complete functions to train outstanding players and promote the popularity of baseball. In the future, baseball players from all over the world will come here to compete with each other.
Huang Weizhe said that Tainan has a long-standing relationship with baseball. Baseball is not only an important cultural element in Tainan, but also a key sports development project in Tainan. The Tainan City Government attaches great importance to grassroots baseball cultivation and the three-level connection system, and invests considerable financial support every year. The development of grassroots baseball also encourages industry-university cooperation to develop technological baseball, using the professionalism and entertainment of baseball, combined with sports technology, to develop the digitization and accessibility of baseball, allowing players and teams to compete during games Can show maximum explosive power.
In order to allow the audience to enjoy a different baseball game experience brought by sports technology, Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology has set up multiple sets of high-speed cameras on the field to capture the two women’s baseball teams of Taipei City University and National Taiwan Sports University through video streaming technology and multi-machine linkage images. team, as well as the pitchers and batters of four Little League teams including Tainan City Xiejin Elementary School, Yizai Elementary School, Yongxin Elementary School and Liren Elementary School. Together with the Sports Science Team of National Cheng Kung University, they developed AI computer vision for real-time pitching. Technology that analyzes pitching and batter’s swing joint motion trajectories, and measures speed and hitting point angle, accurately reconstructs players’ movement trajectories, allowing the six teams to personally experience the real help technology can bring to athletes.
In addition to allowing the audience to instantly appreciate the sports data performance of the players, the carnival also uses the main perspective to allow passionate baseball fans to be immersed in the scene and experience an immersive visual enjoyment. In addition, in order to enable people who are unable to come to watch the game to enjoy the multi-angle viewing experience in person, this event combines 5G wireless transmission technology to carry out live broadcast of the event and launch a unique sports technology exhibition competition.
In addition to the visual enjoyment, there is also a sports market specially set up for the public to experience in person. The market exhibit includes the Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology augmented reality (AR) catcher, which allows you to experience the fun of squatting; and uses motion recognition technology to use inertia. The measurement sensor iIMU is used to design a motion detection system worn on the waist, which can instantly analyze the batter’s striking posture, draw the rotation trajectory, and assist in adjusting the striking posture.
The Pass and Ball Laboratory also exhibited b4-app, which combines artificial intelligence machine vision and human-computer interaction technology to transform the iPhone into a powerful sports science tool. AI automatically records high-speed images and provides key sports scientific data in real time. The built-in fan community platform can increase interactive fun; it also demonstrated the Smart Bullpen 2.0, which provides comprehensive and accurate sports performance data and multi-view high-speed images. The laboratory also Cooperate with Chengdu University engineers to reconstruct 3D trajectories, using machine vision algorithms and artificial intelligence technology to gain an in-depth understanding of sports performance.
In addition, ITRI has demonstrated the power of sports technology sensing and data analysis. Through the integration of posture recognition and sensing trajectory tracking mechanisms, it can obtain muscle strength training data and formulate personalized weight training goals and ability training power chains for baseball players. Training prescription.
Tsinghua University uses voiceprint analysis that is unique in the world and applies it to the development of baseball technology systems. It records the hitting sounds of balls and bats, and uses AI to instantly analyze the quality of batting and the location of the bat’s hitting point, providing Detailed information about whether the hitter hit the ball accurately allows the hitter to fine-tune the hitting position to achieve the best hitting performance.
Wu Chengwen, president of Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology and chairman of the National Sports Science Center, said that Taiwan has moved from traditional sports science research to sports technology combined with industrial development, which has begun to take shape. This represents the integration of sports culture into the development of Taiwan’s social civilization. It is an important process, and we hope that through the establishment of the National Sports Science Center, we can assist top athletes, and also promote Taiwan’s technology industry to cultivate sports technology, and elevate Taiwan’s social civilization to the level of an advanced country. ◇
