Goal Line Technology Using Line axis detection

The exponential growth of football all around the world has caused the exactness of every single innovation included in the game to be of immense value. Basic circumstances emerge when the referee can't separate a goal or no goal by fine margins because of human visual limitations. In the modern era popular football leagues have adopted the use of hawk-eye technology which is unaffordable by the local football leagues. In this project, we have designed and developed a prototype of an efficient and cost-effective goal-line technology system. The proposed framework utilizes object detection techniques i.e. HSV model and contours. We identify the color of the ball and use line-axis detection to reference the position of the ball with respect to the goal line. If the goal is scored, the updated score line is sent to the referee through an email. The result is also broadcasted to the live audience through a speaker system and LCD screen. This system helps in decision-making, in this manner making the framework quicker to help the referees in quick decision-making and keeping up the momentum of the game.
