Automatic Generation of Personalized Golf Video Using Integrated Technologies and Methods

Golf is one of the most popular sports in the world. The viewership of the professional golfers’ association (PGA) tour broadcasts increased. However, golf broadcasting production is highly professional, expensive and is only for large events. To allow the amateur golfer to own his personalized golf video and share it with his family or friends, this article aims to propose a novel and cost-effective intelligent system to automatically generate golf videos based on numerous integrated technologies and methodologies. Solar power, camera sensor networks, wireless transmission, edge computing, and artificial intelligence technologies were adopted to implement such an intelligent system. To this end, we demonstrate that the proposed system works well. Based on 350 hours of video production, the cost of the 5G solution or the legacy solution is three times the proposed system. The results show that the proposed system can provide a cost-effective solution to generate golf videos and may serve as a reference for other fields that need automatic video generation.
