AI-Supported Visualization of Defensive and Offensive Spaces

AI-powered visualization tool illustrating defensive and offensive spaces dynamically during gameplay.

Overview

About the project

Development of an AI-powered visualization tool that illustrates defensive and offensive spaces dynamically on the football field during gameplay. The system helps coaches and players understand how positioning and movement influence spatial control in real time. Objectives include visualizing space occupation and control in offensive and defensive phases, highlighting gaps and compactness dynamically, and supporting coaching decisions with clear visual analytics. This idea was implemented for the first time in the world of soccer.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does AI space visualization show in football?

It shows which zones of the pitch each team controls, where gaps open between players and lines, and how compact a team is in attack and in defence as the game unfolds.

How does it help coaches?

Coaches can see how positioning and movement influence spatial control, explain tactical concepts to players visually, and identify recurring defensive gaps or attacking opportunities.
