AI-based system enables real-time detection of whip sounds in horse racing

Regulations limit both the intensity and frequency of whip use during horse racing. Nevertheless, compliance is currently verified manually after each race. Researchers at University of Tsukuba have developed an innovative system combining high-resolution audio recording with artificial intelligence for automatic detection of whip sounds. The work is published in the journal Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence.
