Don't worry. VAR has caused more arguments that it's solved in Australia!Really sad in some ways that technology takes over something that sells newspapers and clogs up fans and refs forums. What are we all going to argue about now!
Well yes, that's one of the points that they specifically address (and at some length) in the video.So have they figured out how to get the line to consider body parts other than the feet?
The standard camera/playback frame rate is 24 or 30 fps. At the better frame rate there is 1/30th of a second between the two frames that a VAR can look at the incident
There is a lot more to it than that. While most cameras are capable of shooting higher frame rate, they don't shoot that fast because you have to compromise some other quality (resolution, sharpness...) for higher frame rate. That's why when you freeze frame you never see the shape of the ball or the exact position of the leg (again there is more to it there as well). These cameras are for broadcasting purposes and they wont over capitalise on their equipment to satisfy VAR requirements. The only exception is the goal line camera used for GLT (when in use). But there is only one at each end.All the cameras record at a minimum of 300 fps. That's how the slow motion replays look smooth instead of jerky like they used to when I was a kid.
Usain Bolt's fastest speed was 44.7s km/h, or 12.4 m/s. That's 4 centimetres per frame. I think that's good enough.
That looks like an amazing implementation, rather high-tech. A lot of time and money must have been spent developing this. I look forward to seeing this aspect of the implementation
Not me @Sheffields Finest, I'm in Devon on babysitting duties........three under five! I know where I'd like to be after a whole week of it .............There was a small earthquake last night in Hull, I'm not sure if it was actually geological or just @Mintyref dropping his wallet!
12.7m/s!!!! Thats the equivalent of running a mile in 2 minutes & 9 seconds!!
Swift? Probably won't have time to meet up. Busy calendar tomorrow, and I'm going to be late in............I'm in Cottingham in the morning, I'll pop in and see if the new Motability ramp has survived the shift in tectonic plates!
