Individual Action and Group Activity Recognition in Soccer Videos From a Static Panoramic Camera

Data and statistics are key to soccer analytics and have important roles in player evaluation and fan engagement. Automatic recognition of soccer events - such as passes and corners - would ease the data gathering process, potentially opening up the market for soccer analytics at non professional clubs. Existing approaches extract events on...

Individual action and group activity recognition in soccer videos. Master's thesis

Data and statistics are key to soccer analytics and have important roles in player evaluation and fan engagement. Automatic recognition of soccer events - such as passes and corners - would ease the data gathering process, potentially opening up the market for non-professional soccer analytics. We propose a novel method for the automatic...

Focus-of-attention for human activity recognition from UAVs

This paper presents a system to extract metadata about human activities from full-motion video recorded from a UAV. The pipeline consists of these components: tracking, motion features, representation of the tracks in terms of their motion features, and classification of each track as one of the human activities of interest. We consider these...

Multi-view 3D human pose recovery in complex environment

The recovery of 3D human pose is an important problem in computer vision with many potential applications in human computer interfaces, motion analysis (e.g. sports, medical) and surveillance. 3D human pose also provides informative, viewinvariant features for a subsequent activity recognition step. Most if not all previous work on 3D human pose...
