To deliver baseball highlight scenes broadcast live to baseball fans outside, image processings such as an online video analyzing, meta information extraction and automatic editing have to be performed in real time. This paper proposes a high-speed image processing to automatically extract PC (pitcher and catcher) scenes, based on feature mining, from a baseball live game broadcast in real time as a part of the baseball highlight scene delivery system. This method showed 95.5% accuracy in the F-measure score within 1/30 of real time.
