Interactive Football Pitch Visualization Tool
I developed an innovative Python-based interactive football pitch visualization app over the course of 4-5 weeks. This tool is designed to provide real-time feedback during training sessions and matches, enhancing the strategic planning and performance analysis capabilities of coaches, analysts, and football enthusiasts.
Features:
- Heatmap Visualization: The app generates dynamic heatmaps that illustrate player positions and movements, offering instant insights into team dynamics.
- Event Counter: It has an event counter feature, where clicking on zones adds an event count to the visualization, making it easier to track and analyze key events.
- Real-Time Feedback: It provides immediate visual feedback, enabling quick tactical adjustments during games and detailed reviews post-match.
- Coordinate Export: Users can save pitch X and Y coordinates in a CSV file, facilitating further analysis. This data can be used with tools like Tableau and Power BI to create detailed shot maps and other visualizations.
- Image Saving: The app allows users to save the pitch as an image, providing immediate visual feedback that can be shared with the team.
- Customizable Player Names: Players can be renamed, and specific events can be assigned to them, allowing for detailed and personalized analysis.
- Cost Efficiency: This app provides plotting X and Y features typically found in expensive analysis software, making it an affordable alternative for detailed analysis.
