Abstract

This paper proposes a new play segmentation algorithm using a local adaptive model for each sports game, in which the play start shots (PSS) that represent the start of each play segment are detected by comparing all of keyframes with the PSS model. The PSS model is calculated on the fly using generic clustering algorithm and a repetitive characteristic of the PSS. The end of each play segment (the play end shot (PES)) is determined by detecting close up shots using the field color extracted from the play start shots since the camera will focus on the players or the audience with close up view. Experimental results with 28 baseball videos show that good performance can be obtained with the proposed algorithm compared to other algorithms.
