Definition
Sports video analysis includes object detection and tracking, event detection, highlight summarization, and others.
Introduction
Sports videos have been very popular as a target content domain for video analysis and have attracted much interest in many applications such as event-based retrieval, highlight summarization, and real-time adaptive streaming to meet network/device capabilities, since they tend to have much redundancy which can be reduced significantly.
For example, in sports videos, various highlight event scenes, e.g., touchdown in American football, homerun in baseball, and 3-point shoot in basketball are actually what viewers want to watch. Video retrieval based on such events is a typical application example of sports video analysis. Real-time adaptive streaming can also be achieved by transmitting only these highlight event scenes with full motion audio-video, while transmitting other...
