Attributed Graphs for Tracking Multiple Objects in Structured Sports Videos
Résumé
In this paper we propose a novel approach for multiple
object tracking in structured sports videos using graphs.
The objects are tracked by combining particle filter and
frames description with Attributed Relational Graphs. We
start by learning a probabilistic structural model graph
from annotated images and then using it to evaluate and
correct the current tracking state. Different from previous
studies, our approach is also capable of using the learned
model to generate new hypotheses of where the object is
likely to be found after situations of occlusion or abrupt motion.
We test the proposed method on two datasets: videos
of table tennis matches extracted from YouTube and badminton
matches from the ACASVA dataset. We show that all
the players are successfully tracked even after they occlude
each other or when there is a camera cut.
