Digital technology is profoundly changing Olympic events, and the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics will accelerate this trend. Recently, technology giants such as Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, Baidu Smart Cloud, JD Logistics, China Unicom, etc. have brought a large number of "black technologies" to the front of the stage, including AI referees, computer vision tracking, logistics robots, cooking robots, etc. an important part of the competition.
Behind this is the rapid rise of my country's 5G, artificial intelligence, cloud computing and other new technologies and new industries (300832). The application of these technologies not only accelerates the digital transformation of competitive sports, but also indicates that China's technology is shifting from application innovation to bottom-level innovation in the industry. developing.
According to Zhang Xiaorong, President of Deepin Science and Technology Research Institute, Chinese digital technology companies are accelerating the transformation of the sports industry to digitalization. New technologies such as 5G, big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality have been increasingly used in the field of sports. While vigorously developing Internet + sports, speed up the promotion of information service platforms such as national fitness, competitive sports, and sports industry. Construction, the development of the sports industry will achieve a new butterfly change.
The core system is fully integrated into the cloud and cloud computing helps the innovation of the event
Every Olympic event, the event broadcast is the top priority. According to the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, the Olympic core information system of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics has been 100% cloud-ready, and the information systems of the Winter Olympics event results, event broadcast, and information release have been migrated to the cloud. . Among them, "cloud broadcasting" has become one of the most focused technologies in the global media.
In the past, every Olympic Games required repeated construction of traditional IT computer rooms and dismantled them after a short period of use in the event. After moving to the cloud, the cost of IT infrastructure has dropped significantly, and the application development and deployment process has been shortened.
"Rebroadcasting on the cloud can bring some movie special effects into the event broadcasting, such as watching the game from a high-degree-of-freedom perspective similar to "bullet time"." Li Xin, head of Alibaba Cloud's international sports business, said in an interview with Caijing. In an interview, a media reporter said that with the help of cloud high concurrency and low latency, dozens of high-definition pictures are transmitted in real time, and then the intelligent algorithm performs millisecond-level synthesis and modeling to transform the super slow motion and panoramic viewing of the movie special effects pictures. Bring it into the broadcast of the Winter Olympics.
However, the realization of the "Olympics on the Cloud" is not an overnight success. It poses higher challenges for cloud vendors' cloud computing security, data storage management capabilities, and all the technologies and processes involved in this transformation.
Li Xin pointed out that the Olympic Games on the cloud can more efficiently integrate resources and support the operation of the event. In this process, the production and broadcast on the cloud requires strong computing, network, and storage capabilities as support, and each node needs to have big data storage and high-bandwidth processing capabilities to cope with the surge in traffic and ensure the best transmission of content. quality.
It is not difficult to find that at the Beijing Winter Olympics, the new generation of information technologies such as cloud computing has become not only an auxiliary, but has become an important component and supporting part to better help the Winter Olympics achieve innovation.
According to Liu Xingliang, director of the DCCI Internet Research Institute, during the Beijing Winter Olympics, the audience can freely choose a 360° viewing angle to watch the game, and the game screen can be viewed from any angle. This is the audio-visual effect brought by the combination of high technology and the live broadcast of the game. This has also been achieved with the continuous development of China's sports industry and the accelerated advancement of technological innovation, which has also increased the interactivity of the live broadcast of the Winter Olympics with the audience.
Robots become a new landscape of the Winter Olympics, intelligent and unmanned to ensure the safety of the stadium
Recently, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation shared a video on social platforms and attracted attention. In the video, a robot at work finds that foreigners who greet it are not wearing masks. So, he immediately stopped his "steps" and issued a reminder to "wear a mask". After the photographer thanked him, the robot left.
The robot in the video is the inspection robot of the Beijing Winter Olympics. It is responsible for public space inspection, mask detection and early warning, thermal infrared temperature measurement, and hand disinfection. During patrols, mask monitoring can be carried out, and a reminder to wear a mask will be issued for those who do not wear masks within a range of 5 meters. The disinfection equipment on top of the robot has an infrared sensing function, which can automatically spray disinfectant.
In fact, this is just the tip of the iceberg of how robots can help the Beijing Winter Olympics. It is not easy for the restaurant of the Winter Olympics to host athletes, photographers and broadcasters from more than 100 countries and regions.
Qianxi Robot, a subsidiary of Country Garden, has launched a variety of full-process dish-making robots. Consumers only need to sit at the table, scan the code to order a meal, and wait for the food to be served. There are various robots responsible for quickly completing food production. Some robots are responsible for cooking, and some robots are responsible for making claypot rice. You can eat Chinese food or Western food. After the robot is ready to cook, the food delivery robot will use the cloud rail transmission system in the air to deliver the food to the place where the orderer is.
At the same time, the unmanned distribution vehicles and contactless smart distribution cabinets that shuttled through the closed-loop and non-closed-loop areas of the event during the Winter Olympics also attracted attention.
According to the relevant person in charge of Jingdong Logistics, in order to improve the efficiency and safety of material circulation in the museum, the indoor delivery robots are all working in the buffer zone. The staff in the clean area can call the indoor delivery robot to go there through the configured smart terminal. own location. After the vehicle reaches the boundary between the clean area and the buffer area, the staff can place the materials in the robot box, and the robot will transport the materials to the boundary between the buffer area and the polluted area, and complete the ferry connection between the clean area and the polluted area. The materials in the contaminated area can also be sent to the clean area by the robot after sterilization, reducing the flow of people across the area.
With the development of new technologies such as VR and 5G, more and more manufacturers have begun to explore the integration of the robot industry and new technologies in design and development, providing more possibilities for robot landing applications.
Song Xiaogang, executive director and secretary-general of the China Robot Industry Alliance, said that with the rapid development and in-depth application of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data, the intelligent development of robots will present new features of multi-dimensional upgrades. At present, the industry is in a stage of rapid growth, capital continues to pour in, and the industry's popularity has increased significantly.
Industry experts pointed out that China's robot industry will face the needs of manufacturing and household services. It should focus on promoting the innovation and application of key products such as public service robots and health and epidemic prevention robots, and continue to promote the high-end intelligent development of robot products.
AI technology is widely used, and the industry welcomes new development opportunities
At this Winter Olympics, AI technology is ubiquitous, providing a more accurate solution for the fairness of sports competitions.
In fact, many of the events of the Winter Olympics require referees to score to determine the ranking. Since manual scoring will inevitably lead to disputes, more than 90% of the Winter Olympics urgently need scientific and technological means to assist training and service viewing.
It is understood that this Winter Olympics has launched a series of AI-assisted scoring systems. It is reported that the AI "referee" uses computer vision technology algorithms and deep learning methods to realize real-time motion capture of athletes, real-time monitoring and data transmission of motion trajectories in indoor venues. Even if there is a multi-person melee and mutual occlusion on the sports field, the data of each athlete's position, movement trajectory and other data will be accurately obtained and displayed digitally to ensure the fairness and justice of the game.
It is worth noting that figure skating is one of the sports with the most complex rules and the highest scoring difficulty in the Winter Olympics. The players are like a high-speed spinning top when they perform the jumping action. As an ordinary audience, what is the degree of completion of the action? , can be described as indistinguishable to the naked eye. The judges need to give accurate technical points according to the type of action, difficulty factor, completion status, standard degree, etc. in the high-speed and complex movements. Therefore, the intervention of AI technology will assist the judges in the competition process. More accurate Complete the grading work.
Zhang Xiaorong told the new media reporter of Caijing that as 5G smart service technology, unmanned autonomous driving technology, and green environmental protection technology are put into use in the Winter Olympics, the use of these technologies can not only escort the holding of the Winter Olympics, but also prove that It also indicates the development of China's technology from application innovation to innovation trend at the bottom of the industry.
