A Note on Network Analysis Based Detection of Important Player and Similar Scenes in Soccer Videos
Details
This paper proposes a link analysis-based method for detecting important players and similar scenes in soccer videos. We define important players as follows: 1) the attacking player who have great relevancy to a score, 2) the defending player on the opposing team, and 3) players who assist the above players. Since soccer tactic analysis focuses not only on player skill but also relationships between players, this paper expresses the relationships between players as a network, which is constructed from player positions in the soccer video. The proposed method analyses the constructed network to detect important players and similar scenes.
