A Ball Detection Algorithm for Real Soccer Image Sequences
نویسندگان
چکیده
A large number of methods for circle detection has been studied in the last years for numerous image processing applications. The application domain considered in this paper is the soccer game. To identify the ball in soccer images is very important in order to evaluate the goal event. This domain is challenging as a great number of problems has to be managed, such as occlusions, shadows, objects similar to the ball, real time processing. Aim of this work is to present the results of a number of experiments obtained by using a modified version of the directional Circle Hough Transform. Different lighting conditions have been considered since they introduce strong modifications on the appearance of the ball in the image: when the image sequences are taken with natural light the ball appears as a spherical cap then the search of the ball has been modified in order to manage those situations. A large number of experiments has been carried out showing that the proposed method obtains an high detection score.

Motion detection by a moving observer using Kalman filter and neural network in soccer robot
In many autonomous mobile applications, robots must be capable of analyzing motion of moving objects in their environment. Duringmovement of robot the quality of images is affected by quakes of camera which cause high errors in image processing outputs. In thispaper, we propose a novel method to effectively overcome this problem using Neural Networks and Kalman Filtering theory. Thistechnique u...
متن کاملExtracting 3D information from broadcast soccer video
In this paper, we propose a new method to estimate players’ and ball’s positions from monocular broadcast soccer video. With the relationship between objects and the camera in perspective projection, we derive the formula for estimating the moving objects’ positions in real world, even when the ball is in the air. This method calibrates the camera’s position in the stadium through the homograph...
متن کامل3D Trajectory Reconstruction of the Soccer Ball for Single Static Camera Systems
The interest on acquiring player and ball data during soccer games is increasing in several domains such as media or training. Consequently, tracking systems are becoming widely used for live data gathering. However, due to costs, stadium infrastructure, media rights etc. there is a trend for stand-alone mobile low-cost soccer tracking systems. The drawback of such systems is that generally onl...
متن کاملAn Efficient Algorithm for Detection of Soccer Ball and Players
In this paper we propose an effective algorithm for detection of a soccer ball and players. In the currently available methods, the ball may not be detected when it is attached to the lines in the ground. To overcome this problem, we introduce a method to separate lines from the ball and segment the ball effectively. At first we detect the ground and the edges of the original image. Then an eff...
متن کاملAutomatic Color Detection for MiroSOT Using Quantum-Inspired Evolutionary Algorithm
In a MiroSOT robot soccer program, operators manually adjust color setting using global vision system for detecting objects such as robots and a ball. It is a cumbersome and time-consuming operation before the game. Since spectators may make shadows and illumination changes on the pitch, it becomes more difficult to detect colors of the objects. For the convenience of operators, automatic color...
