Detection and tracking in multicamera sports video

 

[Description][Related publication][Dataset][Sample results]

This page presents sample results of the developed work in the end of career project named "Detección y seguimiento en videos deportivos multicámara". Main objective of this project is to create a system which after a simple previous configuration is able to detect and track each player on the court or field. Target sports to develop the system are individual sports (e.g. tennis) and team sports (e.g. basketball and football). Given the very different characteristics of each type of sport, a different system for each of them has been developed.

Sample results

Some results are presented for individual sports and team sports. For individual sports, the first video shows the tracking from each camera and the resulting trajectory. The second video shows some statistics extracted from the trajectory of the tracked player. For team sports, four videos and quantitative results are presented. The videos show the resulting fusion of facing cameras from the tracking of each camera, the region fusion from the result of facing cameras fusion, the final trajectories of each player and statistics extracted from the trajectory of the referee(to facilitate the monitoring in the videos). All the football videos use the ground-truth tracking. Precision and recall results are shown for each of the two used tracking (ground-truth tracking and base system tracking) and for each of the three types of developed fusion.

    Results:

Legend:
GT1 and BS1 correspond to the basic fusion.
GT2 and BS2 correspond to the fusion in which is added the improvement of color.
GT3 and BS3 correspond to the fusion in which is added the improvement of color and adjusted the homography of cameras 5 and 6.
