Tracking Football Player Movement From a Single Moving Camera Using Particle Filters
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with the problem of tracking football players in a football match using data from a single moving camera. Tracking footballers from a single video source is di cult: not only do the football players occlude each other, but they frequently enter and leave the camera's eld of view, making initialisation and destruction of a player's tracking a di cult task. The system presented here uses particle lters to track players. The multiple state estimates used by a particle lter provide an elegant method for maintaining tracking of players following an occlusion. Automated tracking can be achieved by creating and stopping particle lters depending on the input player data.

Moving Vehicle Tracking Using Disjoint View Multicameras
Multicamera vehicle tracking is a necessary part of any video-based intelligent transportation system for extracting different traffic parameters such as link travel times and origin/destination counts. In many applications, it is needed to locate traffic cameras disjoint from each other to cover a wide area. This paper presents a method for tracking moving vehicles in such camera networks. The...

This document describes the progress on the MUCATAR (MUltiple CAmera Tracking and Activity Recognition) IM2 White Paper Project during its second year. Building on the first year achievments on single-object tracking, the research during the second year moved into two main directions: 1) the investigation of new sampling strategies to improve tracking with particle filters, both for single and ...
متن کاملMotion Detection and Tracking for an AIBO Robot Using Camera Motion Compensation and Kalman Filtering
Motion detection and tracking while moving is a desired ability for any soccer player and in particular for any robot soccer player. For instance, this ability allows the determination of the ball trajectory when the player is moving himself or when he is moving his head, for making or planning a soccer-play. If a robot soccer player should have a similar functionality, then it requires an algo...

متن کاملA Fast Snake-Based Method to Track Football Player
We present in this paper a new method to track moving objects. It is based on snakes or active contour models. We are concerned with football game analysis and so the moving objects tracked are representing football 'players. The camera is moving too. Our active contour algorithm does not need any preprocessing step contrary to most of the snake-based methods. It is based on classical energies ...
