6-5 Robust Ball Tracking Method for Soccer Video based on harmonaization of Consecutive Frames and Multi-view Images

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a robust ball tracking method for multi-view videos shot in an outdoor soccer stadium. Our proposed method checks whether tracking is successful or not in each camera for every frame, and modifies ball region based on epipolar geometry between multi-cameras. Experimental results show the effectiveness of our method compared to conventional method using single camera.
