Detecting Soccer Goal Scenes from Broadcast Video using Telop Region

Abstract

We propose a simple method to detect goal scenes from broadcast soccer video by using scoring telop regions. Scoring telop regions show us scores of both teams simultaneously with games. In the first step of our proposed method, we extract the telop regions which include scores of both teams. As next step, we try to recognize the score changes on the telop regions by using inter-frame difference between consecutive two frames. Then finally we can detect goal scenes as the timing of score changings. Experimental results show the ability of our proposed method. Keywords: Soccer video analysis, telop, goal scene detection, inter-frame difference.
