Tracking Players and a Ball in Video Image Sequence and Estimating Camera Parameters for 3D Interpretation of Soccer Games

چکیده
To recognize and retrieve soccer game scenes, the movement of the players and the ball must be analyzed. This paper describes a method of tracking the players and the ball and estimating their 3D positions from video images recorded from TV broadcasting. Our system detects the players and tracks them by predicting their motions. Our system determines the ball from among ball candidates by considering the motion continuity of the ball. The camera parameters (pan, tilt, and zoom) are estimated by detecting line regions on the field in every frame and by matching them to the model. Because our method uses not only straight lines but also circular ones for the matching, it can be applied to the whole area of the field. Our system also estimates the 3D position of the ball by fitting a 3D physical model to the observed ball trajectory. The effectiveness of the method is shown by experiments with actual image sequences.

Extracting 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...

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 کاملTracking Players and Estimation of the 3D Position of a Ball in Soccer Games
In soccer games, understanding the movement of players and a ball is essential for the analysis of matches or tactics. In this paper, we present a system to track players and a ball and to estimate their positions from video images. Our system tracks players by extracting shirt and pants regions and can cope with the posture change and occlusion by considering their colors, positions, and veloc...
