چکیده

Tennis game annotation using broadcast video is a task with a wide range of applications. In particular, ball trajectories carry rich semantic information for the annotation. However, tracking a ball in broadcast tennis video is extremely challenging. In this chapter, we explicitly address the challenges, and propose a layered data association algorithm for trackingmultiple tennis balls fully automatically. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated on two data sets with more than 100 sequences from real-world tennis videos, where other data association methods perform poorly or fail completely.

A Tennis Ball Tracking Algorithm for Automatic Annotation of Tennis Match

Several tennis ball tracking algorithms have been reported in the literature. However, most of them use high quality video and multiple cameras, and the emphasis has been on coordinating the cameras, or visualising the tracking results. In this paper, we propose a tennis ball tracking algorithm for low quality off-air video recorded with a single camera. Multiple visual cues are exploited for t...

A System for the Automatic Annotation of Tennis Matches

In this paper we describe a system for the automatic annotation of tennis matches. The goal is to provide annotation at all levels, from shot detection to a complete breakdown of the scoring within the match. At present the system will automatically analyse a tennis video to the extent that it can identify the outcome of individual video shots, with reasonable accuracy. We briefly describe the ...

Automatic annotation of tennis games: An integration of audio, vision, and learning

a r t i c l e i n f o Fully automatic annotation of tennis game using broadcast video is a task with a great potential but with enormous challenges. In this paper we describe our approach to this task, which integrates computer vision, machine listening, and machine learning. At the low level processing, we improve upon our previously proposed state-of-the-art tennis ball tracking algorithm and...

Tennis ball tracking for automatic annotation of broadcast tennis video

This thesis describes several algorithms for tracking tennis balls in broadcast tennis videos. The algorithms are used to provide a ball tracking module for an automatic tennis video annotation system. As an overall strategy, we have decided to adopt the Track-After-Detection (TAD) approach to the tracking problem. A TAD approach decomposes a tracking problem into two sub-problems: object candi...
