What is the technology provided by Intel to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics?

　On July 20, Intel held a briefing on technology provided by the company to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

　Intel has been the World Wide Olympic Partner of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) since Pyeongchang Winter Olympics in 2018.According to Rick Echevarria, Vice President of Intel Sales & Marketing Headquarters and Intel Olympic Program and Office Division, "Intel plays an important role in promoting new technology recruitment in the Olympics as an IOC partner.In cooperation with his partner, he integrates Intel technology in various aspects, from improving athlete performance to the operation of the tournament, improving urban infrastructure, and distributing competitions. "

　Specifically, the content of the technology that the company contributed was explained by Kunimasa Suzuki, President of Intel.Although it was a tournament that was decided to hold a spectator, Intel stated that "we have provided technologies that have improved viewing experiences on TV and online, and cooperated with projects that support smooth tournaments."

　Technology provided by the company to improve viewing experiences include "3D athlete tracking (3DAT)" and "Intel True View".

　The 3DAT is a computer vision solution developed by Intel (artificial intelligence), which will be used for regenerating short -range species on land.The system incorporates the foam and movement of the players with four cameras, applies an estimated posture algorithm optimized for the Intel Xeon processor, and analyzes the biomechanics of the players.As a result, it is possible to overlay the competition data such as acceleration, speed, player name, ranking, etc.

　"It is a technology that realizes immersive sports viewing experiences," said Intel True View.The technology is scheduled to be used in basketball competitions and will shoot 52 games in 15 days.

　As a mechanism, a small camera with a high resolution is installed throughout the venue, and play is taken from the entire coat.The three -dimensional video data (boxel) that records vertical, horizontal, and depth is processed and distributed with an Intel Xeon processor -based server and a PC equipped with an Intel Core processor.The rendering of the boxel can also confirm the play of 360 -degree replays and the play that was difficult to judge with the naked eye.

　Intel also announced that it will cooperate with NTT and NTT DOCOMO with the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games Organizing Committee, together with NTT and NTT DOCOMO.The project is to provide new viewing experiences by taking advantage of the 5G (5th -generation mobile communication system) network network and provides new viewing experiences, and is used in three sports: swimming competition, sailing, and golf.I will.Intel says, "A hardware platform equipped with an Intel Xeon scalable processor" (Suzuki).

　Inter also provided a song called "2020 Beat", which is the official support beat of the Tokyo 2020 Games.This is a song created using Intel's AI solution platform, and supports players with a support project "TOKYO 2020" Make the Beat! ""If you post a support video that clapped or danced to SNS according to the 2020BET, it will be screened on the screen of the competition venue.

　In the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics, Intel held a light show with more than 1200 drones, but this tournament will also have the latest drone.Mr. Suzuki introduced the latest drone in his hand and said, "The weight of one aircraft is about 300g. The high -precision LED achieves a clear and unbounded brightness.Explains. The further evolution of the software and the hardware have improved stability and long life of the battery. "

　In addition, Inter participates in the IOC Data Utilization Project, which supports tournament management.The project will realize the digital transformation (DX) of the tournament, contribute to the operation efficiency of the next and subsequent tournaments and the operation efficiency of the next and subsequent tournaments.For example, this time, based on Intel processors and AI platforms, we have built an IOC data platform, measure the congestion status of prescribed areas such as stadiums and parking facilities, and inform the person in charge in real time if it reaches the accommodation ability.Say.

　Echevarria said, "Many innovations developed for this tournament will ultimately use them in future products and services. For example, 3DAT technology has already been an effort to improve athletes' performance.It is coming. In the future, we would like to make various benefits in non -sports fields, such as using such technology to prevent injuries, "he said.
