Abstract
The production costs of broadcasting sport events that require tracking moving objects are continuously increasing. Although those events are very demanded by the audience, broadcasting organizations have economical difficulties to afford them. For that reason, they are demanding the development of new professional (software and hardware) equipments that lead to a considerable reduction of the production costs.
Highlights
In the last years, different factors are provoking a deep revolution in the broadcast industry
– We extend a general architecture for location-dependent query processing with videocamera management to help technical directors that broadcast sport events to deal with the multimedia information coming from different videocameras
To process location-dependent queries in a mobile environment, we have proposed in previous works the system LOQOMOTION [19] (LOcation-dependent Queries On Moving ObjecTs In mObile Networks), a distributed location-dependent query processing system whose architecture is based on mobile agents
Summary
Different factors are provoking a deep revolution in the broadcast industry. The live broadcasting of such rowing races requires a very complex infrastructure: one helicopter, sailing boats with cameras and GPS transmitters, more cameras in the harbor, and a production mobile unit (usually a trailer) In such a complex context, the technical director is responsible for the selection and coordination on the fly of the graphical material, video signals, and views that are broadcasted to the TV audience. These tasks become especially difficult when different unexpected events happen at different geographic areas or when different moving objects become interesting at the same time.
