Flicker remover

Michał Kopania

supervisor: Artur Przelaskowski



For the past few years, together with another Ph.D. student Jarosław Mówisz we have built an instant review system for badminton. The system uses 14 to 20 fast cameras to track flying shuttlecock and detect when and where it landed on the floor of a court. Players may challenge the decisions of line judges when they do not agree with IN/OUT decisions.

We used our system in many tournaments. The biggest one was Badminton World Senior Championships in 2019.

To build such a system, we did quite a lot of research in the computer vision area and also invented our algorithms.

Last year we prepared a paper: "Real-time flicker removal for fast video streaming and detection of moving objects" it is now in the second round of a review process. I would like to present results of our research.
