Sifan Ma, En Shao, Xiang Xie, Wei Liu · 2020
Sports big data technology has become an important technological means of modern sports competition. This paper realizes a novel soccer video event detection algorithm based on self-attention. It extracts key frames through self-attention mechanism, and then obtains the characteristics of time window level through NetVLAD network. Finally, each video clip is classified into 4 types of events (goals, red/yellow card, substitutions and others). The experimental results show that with the introduction of the self-attention mechanism, the classification accuracy on the SoccerNet data set has improved from 67.2% to 74.3%.
