Automatic Tracking Method for Sports Video Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses the implementation of an advanced visual-based tennis sports video analysis system. Firstly, a white pixel-fraction based method is used to detect the significant frames that include the tennis court. In addition, we employ the temporal correlation between two consecutive frames to track the court location within a local search area. Furthermore, we propose a player segmentation and tracking algorithm that separately builds background models for the playing field and the area surrounding the field according to their different colors. This enables to provide it as a prediction of the current frame for more efficiency. Results on real tennis video data are presented, demonstrating the validity and performance of the approach.

Effectiveness of an automatic tracking software in underwater motion analysis.
Tracking of markers placed on anatomical landmarks is a common practice in sports science to perform the kinematic analysis that interests both athletes and coaches. Although different software programs have been developed to automatically track markers and/or features, none of them was specifically designed to analyze underwater motion. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ...
متن کاملBall-path Inference Based on a Combination of Audio and Video Clues in Tennis Video Sequences
Tennis-sports analysis is attracting much attention in content-analysis research and professional applications. This paper presents a scheme for sports analysis employing an automatic tennis ball-path inference driven by a combination of auditory and visual information. The ball-path inference is implemented for tactics analysis. Since ball tracking remains to be a challenging issue in practice...
متن کاملAutomatic Acquisition of Motion Trajectories: Tracking Hockey Players
We address the problem of automatically analyzing hockey scenes by estimating the panning, tilting and zooming parameters of the broadcasting cameras, tracking hockey players in these scenes, and constructing a visual description of the scenes as trajectories of those players. Given quite fast and non-smooth camera motions to capture highly complex and dynamic scenes of hockey, tracking hockey ...
متن کاملVisual tracking using Particle Filter and Monte Carlo Markov Chain
Tracking is an important processing step for many single and multi-camera applications such as sports video analysis, traffic monitoring and event detection. In the first part of the paper, we present a framework of visual tracking using first-order Markov state-space model. We subsequently use Sequential importance Sampling method to estimate the posterior density and obtain the firstorder par...
متن کاملAutomated Service Scene Detection for Badminton Game Analysis Using CHLAC and MRA
Extracting in-play scenes in sport videos is essential for quantitative analysis and effective video browsing of the sport activities. Game analysis of badminton as of the other racket sports requires detecting the start and end of each rally period in an automated manner. This paper describes an automatic serve scene detection method employing cubic higher-order local auto-correlation (CHLAC) ...
