Wireless Sensor Based Field Hockey Strategy System

This paper presents the development of a wireless sensor network which is deployed for the purpose of analyzing the strategy for field hockey. The indoor cricket location system has been used to acquire the location of a particular sensor node known as the listener. A review of the existing strategic systems utilized by the national coach of the Malaysian women´s hockey team is provided to complement the design and motivation of this project. The review and analysis was done during the participation of the Malaysian women´s hockey team at the Olympic Qualifier in Victoria, Canada. The visualization of the application for the purpose of analyzing the wide-spectrum of probabilities in player movement has been done using OpenGL. As an initial stage of the experiment using the cricket indoor location system was used to acquire the pre-defined coordinate system. The obtained results have enabled a dynamic strategic planning to facilitate the strategy planning which captures the essence of the human tracking and cohesively harnesses the reconfiguration elements of wireless sensor networks.
