Abstract

A system is described for tracking the positions of football players during a match. The input is eight video streams from static cameras, each processed to generate measurements of the players for a multi view tracker. The single view processing includes foreground detection and a bounding box tracker designed to split measurements of merged players. In the multi-view process, the measurements, each from a different camera and matched to the same player, are fused into an overall measurement which is then used in the estimate updating. Results are demonstrated on real data.
