SwiftUI weather app with live location, smooth animations and OpenWeatherMap data. |
YOLOv8s football detection, player tracking and automatic pitch mapping, with a static match viewer: momentum timeline, critical moments, tactic notes, per-player distance and speed, and space control replayed over the video and a calibrated pitch. Detector fine-tuned to 0.895 mAP50 (ball recall 0.61) on a small validation set. Experimental estimates from one 30 s clip, not industrial-grade; the ball is still missed about four times in ten. Live demo · Results & limitations. |
