Analysis of Soccer Player Shared Intention Process by using Drone

Abstract

In recent cooperative behavior study with goal type sports, some devices such as action cams and acceleration sensors are used for measuring personal behaviors. In these measurements, we mainly analyze the output of player’s behavior. But in cooperative behavior, self and other persons confirm mutual actions and share their intention estimation. And they decide their purpose and judge the next own action. In this research we analyze the intention estimation by player’s head movement and model it to simulate the estimation process. We experimented soccer pass behavior and measure player’s head movement by a flying drone. We describe the measurement accuracy of the player's head movement by the drone and the analysis result of the timing when a ball holder shares the intention of other players and passing.
