Abstract
Many sports now look to technology to resolve contentious
decisions, for example in tennis, Gaelic games, snooker,
association football, etc. However, the sport of canoe slalom, an
Olympic sport, still relies completely on the subjective decision
of a human judge, as to whether a competitor has touched a
‘gate’ or not. With the time difference between gold and bronze
medals frequently being less than 2 secs, a single 2 second penalty
has a significant impact and reliable, objective and repeatable
judging is vital. This paper reports on a prototype slalom pole hitdetection
system, which has been developed in consultation with
the International Canoe Federation (ICF) Slalom Committee.
