Ball Route Estimation in Broadcast Soccer Video
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with the analysis of broadcast soccer video. To recognize interesting events such as a goal, estimation of ball movements is necessary. It is, however, sometimes difficult to detect a ball by a simple color and shape-based method when it overlaps with players and lines. We therefore develop a method of estimating a ball route during such overlaps by considering spatio-temporal relationships between players, lines, and the ball. The method can deal with difficult cases such as the one where a ball disappears at a player and re-appears from another player. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the method.

Ball route estimation under heavy occlusion in broadcast soccer video
This paper deals with analysis of broadcast soccer video. Estimation of ball movements is necessary to recognize interesting scenes such as goal scenes. It is, however, sometimes difficult to detect a ball using a simple color-based or shape-based method when the ball overlaps with multiple players and lines. We therefore developed a method of estimating a ball route during such overlaps by con...
متن کاملAn Accurate Ball Detection and Tracking System for Broadcast Soccer Video
Researchers desire to obtain the ball position for each frame for broadcast soccer video to enhance soccer video analysis and understanding. However, the existing algorithms cannot get the satisfactory results. We have developed a detection and tracking algorithm for accurately finding the ball position in broadcast soccer video in the papers [6-8]. Based on our algorithm, we develop this ball ...
متن کاملA novel ball detection framework for real soccer video
Despite a lot of research efforts in sports video analysis, soccer video indexing remains a challenging task due to the lack of structure in a soccer game that could help in structure analysis. In particular, little work was done in detecting and tracking the ball whose trajectory could play a crucial role for detecting key events. We propose a novel framework for accurately detecting the ball ...
متن کاملExtracting 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...
متن کاملPaper Active Grid-based Pass Region Estimation from Mul- tiple Frames of Broadcast Soccer Videos
An Active grid-based method for estimating pass regions from broadcast soccer videos is presented in this paper. It is assumed that the pass region has a high probability of the pass succeeding. In soccer matches, players discover pass regions based on previous and current player positions. In conventional methods, pass regions are estimated by applying Active Net to only a single frame of a so...
