The aim of removing some of the elements of human subjectivity is to change the decisions taken by officials to automatically taken by technology.
When things stop, when a player scores goals after a boundary situation, the assistant of the video referee (VAR) must decide on three main things – when the ball was hit, where – and in what corner –
Now all three decisions are automatically taken by technology.
Camera, which is monitoring several elements and main parties involved in any strict offside decision, are installed under the ceiling in all 20 Premier League stadiums.
The cameras are monitoring the ball’s accuracy and 10,000 points from the net on the body of all 22 players, which means that a striker’s body was outside the last defender while playing the ball.
Artificial intelligence runs the process and monitors the movement of the ball and players before making a decision whether the player was with the player or offside.
VAR officials testify that the system has correctly determined the three main points it measured before the decision was confirmed. Then the stadium officials alert the players.
A three-dimensional animation of the decision made by artificial intelligence is then played on television, at home and on a large screen on the stadium.
