The Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) has disrupted the esports world with the development of an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven analysis platform capable of real-time victory rate prediction by analyzing game screens.
This innovation, recently applied in the popular game League of Legends during an international esports tournament, has been warmly welcomed.
Real-Time Analysis and Highlight Generation
The platform, which extracts elements from live video feeds of matches and automatically generates highlights by identifying key events, breaks away from game developers and paves the way for expansion across various game genres, empowering the creation of new services and commercialization.
Advancements in Predictive Technology
ETRI’s technology, providing predictive information and real-time match screen analysis, represents a significant advancement compared to previous services, which were limited to commentary-centered broadcasting.
The prediction model developed by ETRI, considering specific characteristics of different match phases, has achieved an accuracy rate exceeding 87% in its predictions, setting a global milestone in real-time victory prediction technology based on video analysis in international esports tournaments.
Automatic Highlight Generation
Moreover, ETRI has created technology for automatic generation of match highlights, allowing users to select highlight content according to their preferences, offering versatile applications.
Player and Team Profiling
The technology, analyzing large-scale game data to create profiles of individual players and teams, has already been transferred to Loud Corporation and offered at various events last year. The imminent introduction of an automatic highlight generation service in the market is also anticipated.
