Future Technologies in Elite Sport - HUTTE
Table of contents
Project description
The project responds to the need to bring a new generation of measurement technology, such as artificial intelligence processors, high-frequency radars and next-generation machine vision cameras to be used in elite sports research, testing and training. The goal of the project is to investigate possible applications and suitability of the aforementioned technologies in the measurement, testing and training in elite sports, and to apply new measurement technologies for aiming point tracking in shooting sports, for which the current device used has reached the end of its life cycle. The long-term goal is to enable more versatile shooting performance measurement, testing and training possibilites, as well as to increase the readiness to apply new generation technologies to improve success in Finnish elite sports.
The project consists of two work packages:
- Investigation of application possibilities of new generation measurement technologies in elite sports
- As a pilot project, design and development of a wireless aiming point tracking device prototype which can be attached to a rifle barrel.
With the project, research, testing and training of shooting sports will be diversified and its continuity will be guaranteed in the unique conditions created in Vuokatti. In addition, CEMIS operators will be better equipped to develop and support Finnish elite sports in terms of measurement technology.
