India's Unfortunate lost after being in a strong position in the last test match of ongoing India-Australia test series 2007-2008 creates a sign of sorrow among the people of India and among all cricket fans of India and this is due to some bad and poor umpiring, but Indian Software industry is now going to benefit from this bad decision of umpire as a string of software start-ups as well as the biggest outsourcing companies have developed solutions that can capture cricketing motions and analyse them real-time so that better decisions can be made if the umpire is inclined. At least, one software ranks cricket umpire on five grades of quality...
One of the leading Bangalore based Software company Swantha Software solution is on their way in developing a new Software which will track the performance of an umpire in a cricket match, it has been named as 3rdEYE which can aggregate all the data analysis at the end of a match and qualify the umpire’s performance as excellent, good, satisfactory, poor or bad, the judgement being made without human intervention
Sanjay Rao the co-founder of the company said that "Most of the times, the whole match depends upon the decisions of an umpire, like it happened in the recent India-Australia Test match. We can monitor these decisions using the 3rdEYE on a real time basis." he also said that "Using this software, we can judge how good the umpire is giving at decisions, especially during the crucial stages of the match"
It was used in the recent Karnataka-Mumbai Ranji Trophy encounter, where the local umpiring coach monitored the umpires’ performance and currently a demo has been given to the BCCI and if it is approved then we can expect that the standard of umpiring will surely increase when it will be used World wide..
