When tracking objects (players, referees, etc.) in a game using deep learning, tracking often fails due to occlusion between objects. In this paper, we track the location of objects in the stadium through video tracking using deep learning. And we fused the GPS(Global Positioning System), which has a large error but can maintain the ID of the object even when the objects overlap so that the tracking can be done correctly even in the overlapping phenomenon between objects. From the experiment results, we could confirm that the object tracking failure rate can be reduced and the accuracy of the object location can be increased through the convergence of deep learning and GPS.
