Camera Confuses A Linesman's Bald Head And A Football

An AI camera used by Inverness Caledonian Thistle confused a linesman's bald head and a football at their home game against Ayr last Saturday.

Centre forward Nikola Todorov scored the team's first goal of the season and, according to Thick Accent, 'the camera kept on mistaking the ball for the bald head on the sidelines, denying viewers of the real action while focusing on the linesman instead.' 

One fan tweeted an image of the hairless official, prompting Chris Philips of CJP Broadcast Service Solutions Ltd to reply.

'Maybe Inverness could speak with us? We supply @STREAMSTAR2 a purpose-built live production system with 1-8 cameras, 4 layer graphics, 3 level replays for sports currently being used by MG ALBA, Darlington FC, Oxford FC and Hereford FC. No AI to worry about going wrong.'
