Smart Goal Keeper Prototype using Computer Vision and Raspberry Pi

摘要

This paper presents the prototype of a smart goalkeeper that defends goals. The developed solution is ideal for training football players. Color tracking is used with the synchronization of the servo motors and computer vision to detect football. The mathematical calculations performed are linked with positioning the servo to mark the position for the goalkeeper. The developed solution is perfect for the training of football players while hitting the goals. The robot goalkeeper, through its accurate observations, will be adequate and up to date in putting every effort to save the goal. The limits of the goal are defined concerning the size and movement. The Raspberry Pi 3B+ is used with the webcam for tracking the target, which is the ball in our case.
