Abstract

We present a tracking system that localizes and tracks multiple players using several commercial-grade static cameras. The players’ tracks are located in the camera views and projected to their corresponding top view using image segmentation techniques, camera calibration, homography, and clustering. Player kinematics and team dynamics were derived from the tracks of the players. The system was applied on a 20-second play of the Global FC versus the Army FC game of the United Football League 2014. The resulting measures can provide coaches and tactical insight on the performance of the team.
