Abstract

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 7th ACM International Workshop on Multimedia Content Analysis in Sports (ACM MMSports'24). The workshop is co-located with ACM Multimedia 2024 and held on-site only, so that we can all meet and interact in person. The workshop addresses a very timely topic because the influence of rapidly developing technologies has changed the way of how we participate, watch, understand and research sports. For example, television broadcasts augment live video footage with computer vision-based graphics in real time to emphasize different aspects of a game or performance and assist focus and understanding of viewers. Moreover, the astonishing impact of wearables within the last years plays a pivotal role in how we pursue and evaluate our personal training goals. In a professional setting, coaches and training scientists directly benefit from the latest technological research, reshaping the way we think about improving the performance and technique of athletes, understand sport injuries or enhance the qualitative and quantitative analyses of performances.
