Jacek Komorowski, Grzegorz Kurzejamski, Grzegorz Sarwas · 2019
The paper describes a deep network based system specialized for ball detection in long shot videos. System comprises of flexible detector and classical particle tracking. The core contribution is incorporation of hy-percolumn concept in the processing pipeline achieving real-time tracking on 12MPx videos. System achieves state-of-the-art results in ISSIA-CNR Soccer Dataset and its feasibility has been tested on 4 camera prototype system.
