In the past few days of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, in addition to medal competitions and athletes who have attracted much attention, China's artificial intelligence technology has also brushed a sense of existence.
Cheetah high-speed 4k camera system
Using the camera to shoot the camera, it is estimated that there is only one Beijing Winter Olympics.
The Winter Olympics will have an invisible internet celebrity, which is the Cheetah high-speed 4K camera system. South Korea's short track speed skating was completely destroyed, in addition to the International Skating Federation's refined penalty rules, Cheetah's high-speed 4K camera system also contributed.
Please note! Don't call it a cheetah high-speed camera, it is a complete camera system, including a huge system of cameras, rail cars, and gyroscopes. If you look at the high-speed camera alone, the technical difficulty is not as high as imagined, and the high-speed cameras on the market can meet the demand, from 1,000 frames per second to tens of thousands of frames per second.
The valuable thing about this system is that while ensuring the capture of the athlete's game screen, it can also maintain the stability of the picture, and it can also achieve acceleration, deceleration and transcendence according to the needs of live broadcasting, and more flexibly capture various frequent moments on the field.
In high-speed sports, rail cars also produce a lot of noise, but under the leadership of Zhao Wei, head of the CCTV Special Equipment Section, the R&D team has minimized the noise, which is why we can see a very impactful race scene in front of the TV. The equipment has been approved by the IOC Olympic Broadcasting Service.
Since the Cheetah camera system, when recruiting Olympic photographers, there is no longer a need to ask people to run faster than the champion.
Smart Restaurant
Smart restaurants, like unmanned supermarkets, have long been nothing new, but the Winter Olympics restaurant truly explains what is the real wisdom restaurant.
The restaurants of the Winter Olympics are destined to receive athletes, photojournalists and more than 10,000 broadcasters from more than 100 countries and regions.
The general smart restaurant refers to the use of the Internet or artificial intelligence technology to optimize the ordering, picking, dining and cash register processes, and realize functions such as unmanned cashier. The more advanced smart restaurant will also be equipped with a "robot waiter" to achieve automatic ordering, delivery and kitchen maintenance.
The smart restaurant of the main media center of the Winter Olympics brings "wisdom" to the extreme. Combined with the characteristics of media personnel such as different time zones, many unexpected tasks, and irregular dining times, the smart restaurant adopts more than ten intelligent cooking and transmission equipment such as hamburger machine, rice cooker, stir-fry machine, etc., and all equipment can operate 24 hours a day and provide catering services uninterruptedly.
Those who know are eating, those who don't know think they are making science fiction movies...

"AI Coach"
Not only during the games, but also in the pre-game artificial intelligence technology was also used early in preparation for the Beijing Winter Olympics. To take a relatively recent example, on January 21, the Chinese Figure Skating Association introduced the "Figure Skating AI Auxiliary Scoring System". Shen Xue, president of the Chinese Figure Skating Association, said he hoped the system could help coaches and referees, as well as help spectators watch the game better.
The biggest highlight of this system is that it can intuitively display the score of each action in real time, use computer vision technology algorithms and deep rest, track the overall movement trajectory of athletes in real time, and capture and identify the human bones and body movements of video data according to professional scoring standards, so as to achieve stability visualization of competition judging.
With the popularization of artificial intelligence technology, we will see more and more high-tech elements in the sports arena, and the Beijing Winter Olympics is only a starting point, not an end.
