Research on Detection and Trackingof Player in Broadcast Sports Video

Abstract

The paper presents a method which bases on support vector machine(SVM) and particle filtering for detecting and tracking player in the broadcast sports video. Firstly, through the combination of Support Vector Classification and CourtSegmentationmethod, it proposes the algorithm for examining automatically members in those videos, which is used to initialize the trace of subsequent visual objects; secondly, by combing support vector regression frame and the one of sequential Monte Carlo, it brings forth the improved particle filtering algorithm which is applied to follow visual objects, enabling the traditional particle filtering method to achieve robust trail of such targets even when the particle set is small, together with effective enhancement of the running efficiency of tracking system.
