Despite extensive data regarding the demands of playing basketball, the relative importance of factors that cause fatigue and muscle potentiation has been explored only tentatively and remains unclear. The aim of this experimental field study was to assess changes in leg muscle power and relate these changes to body temperature modifications and indices of exercise-induced muscle damage in resp...

A new method to identify the shots in basketball video based on Dynamic Bayesian Network (DBN) has been presented in this paper. Using the DBN, the semantic gap between low-lever features and high-lever semantic will be resolve. To identify the ball and the basketball hoop, Kalman filter and SURF (Speed up Robust Features) is applied separately. At last the DBN is employed to identify the shot ...
