Tracking People in Broadcast Sports
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a method for tracking people in monocular broadcast sports videos by coupling a particle filter with a vote-based confidence map of athletes, appearance features and optical flow for motion estimation. The confidence map provides a continuous estimate of possible target locations in each frame and outperforms tracking with discrete target detections. We demonstrate the tracker on sports videos, tracking fast and articulated movements of athletes such as divers and gymnasts and on non-sports videos, tracking pedestrians in a PETS2009 sequence.

Thermal Tracking of Sports Players
We present here a real-time tracking algorithm for thermal video from a sports game. Robust detection of people includes routines for handling occlusions and noise before tracking each detected person with a Kalman filter. This online tracking algorithm is compared with a state-of-the-art offline multi-target tracking algorithm. Experiments are performed on a manually annotated 2-minutes video ...
متن کاملErrors and Mistakes in Automated Player Tracking
This paper examines errors, which can affect the accuracy of computer vision based people tracker. After a successful development of an automated player tracking system for use in team sports, the set of experiments was designed to investigate its accuracy. The authors take advantage of the controlled environment they use to obtain the ”ground truth” information. This information is used to mea...
متن کاملThe Effect of Broadcast Digitalization on Agricultural Information Dissemination in Nigeria.
Broadcast digitalization with its enormous benefits to the broadcasting industry will improve the quality of content of programs delivered by television stations. Africa has a switchover date of June, 2017. For Nigerians to have access to television broadcast once the switch over is completed, they must purchase high definition television sets or the set-up box. The awareness among urban dwelle...
متن کاملOnline multiple people tracking-by-detection in crowded scenes
Multiple people detection and tracking is a challenging task in real-world crowded scenes. In this paper, we have presented an online multiple people tracking-by-detection approach with a single camera. We have detected objects with deformable part models and a visual background extractor. In the tracking phase we have used a combination of support vector machine (SVM) person-specific classifie...
متن کاملHigh-level Event Detection in Broadcast Sports Video
This thesis investigates semantic analysis of broadcast sports footage. A domain dependent sports video model is proposed. Under this model, the game semantics can be derived according to their relationship with the sequence of dynamic events that occur in the sport and the evolution of the spatio-temporal behaviour of a relevant object. Snooker and tennis are targeted as typical broadcast spor...
