A Comprehensive Review of Computer Vision in Sports: Open Issues, Future Trends and Research Directions

Recent developments in video analysis of sports and computer vision techniques have achieved significant improvements to enable a variety critical operations. To provide enhanced information, such as detailed complex soccer, basketball, cricket, badminton, studies focused mainly on employed carry out different tasks. This paper presents comprehensive review for various applications: high-level detection classification players, tracking players or balls predicting the trajectories balls, recognizing team’s strategies, classifying events sports. The further discusses published works application-specific tasks related present researcher’s views regarding them. Since there is wide research scope deploying sports, some publicly available datasets particular sport been discussed. reviews discussion artificial intelligence (AI) applications, GPU-based work-stations embedded platforms vision. Finally, this identifies directions, probable challenges, future trends area visual recognition
