Sports Around The World

• Sports, especially soccer, attract many people.• In the past, people were watching their local

league. • Now with the evolution of communications

(Satellite, Internet … etc) they can watch more than one league at the same time.

What is meant by Dominant Color?

• The dominant color is the color that is filling most of the given area, and it is different between various fields.

• The field of any sport must contain a unique dominant color, which can be used to differentiate among various sports by detecting their field.

What is meant by Shot ?

Separated view comes from multiple cameras views that are positioned at different locations along the pitch.

Correlation Between Frames

• The correlation between frames in the same shot is a very important indicator to detect the similarity between them.

• When there is noticeable change we can conclude the starting of new shot.

12

Shot-boundary detection algorithm

For the proposed system, three features have been used for shot-boundary detection in sports video:

• The difference in color histogram similarity.• The motion difference.• Macro blocks change.

Shot Classification

Different shot types:

Long shot: A long shot displays the global view of the field; long shots almost always display some part of the stadium.

Medium (In-field) shot: A medium shot, where a whole human body is usually visible, is a zoomed-in view of a specific part of the field.

Close-up Shot: A close-up shot usually shows the above-waist view of a player or referee.

Audience (Out-of-field) Shot: The audience, coach, and other shots are denoted as out-of-field shots.

Importance of Replay Detection

Replay Detection

Summarization Cinematic Features

21

• Replay is a video editing way, and it is often used to emphasize an important segment.

• Replay segments are good indicators for exciting events in any sport video.

Logo Based Replay

Logo frame contains a large contrast object and is usually animated within 10-20 frames with a general pattern of “smallest–biggest–smallest”. 22

Results

25

• The proposed system was evaluated using videos for soccer matches of five international soccer championships.

• The proposed system performs very well as its analysis results achieve high accuracy.

• Experiments show that the system has attained very high precision and reasonable recall ratios.

Conclusions• We introduced the effectiveness and the efficiency of all applied methods

in our proposed system such as :1-Dominant Color Detection.2-Shot-boundary detection.3-Shot-type classification.4-Replay detection.

• The proposed system was evaluated on a variety of soccer matches and demonstrated that it is capable of achieving good performance characterized by high recall and precision against a manually defined ground truth.

29

Future works

• Increasing the number of soccer videos and championships being examined.

• Apply different machine learning approaches to differentiate events from one championship to another.

• Moreover, additional phases may be added in order to extend the proposed system for generating a summarized version soccer videos and highlighting the most important events during the match.
