PitchOverlay, a browser-based football analysis bench
PitchOverlay turns a single match video into player tracks, pass chains, possession overlays, CSV files, and a printable report.
- For
- Amateur and semi-professional football clubs
- Worth noticing
- Four-click pitch calibration uses a homography to estimate distances, speeds, and radar positions in metres.
Field notes
The workflow combines local video decoding, sampled-frame player detection, identity tracking, kit-colour grouping, and a possession model based on the nearest tracked player. Coaches can calibrate a static pitch segment with four clicks, repair broken identities or passes, and export player, team, and event data. The page explicitly labels possession as a coaching proxy rather than an official statistic and warns that panning footage degrades distance estimates.
