Wireless Sensor Based Field Hockey Strategy System

This paper presents the development of a wireless sensor network which is deployed for the purpose of analyzing the strategy for field hockey.  The Indoor Cricket Location System has been used to acquire the location of a particular sensor node known as the listener. A review of the existing strategic systems utilized by the national coach of the Malaysian women's hockey team is provided to complement the design and motivation of this project. The review and analysis was done during the participation of the Malaysian women's hockey team at the Olympic Qualifier in Victoria, Canada.  The visualization of the application for the purpose of analyzing the wide-spectrum of probabilities in player movement has been done using OpenGL.  As an initial stage of the experiment using the Cricket Indoor Location System was used to acquire the pre-defined coordinate system. The obtained results have enabled a dynamic strategic planning to facilitate the strategy planning which captures the essence of the human tracking and cohesively harnesses the reconfiguration elements of Wireless Sensor Networks.
