Abstract

While automatic parsing of general video images are difficult or nearly impossible, parsing a specific type of video images can be achieved if the video structure can be explicitly identified and its model can be constructed.This paper presents our ongoing work on using domain knowledge to parse content of soccer video programs.The proposed system can classify a sequence of soccer frames into various play categories, such as shot at leftgoal, top-left corner kick, play in right penalty area, in midfield, etc, based on a prior model comprising four major components: a soccer court, a ball, the players, and the motion vectors. Approaches in applying the model for parsing soccer programs are presented in detail in the paper. Experimental results are included to evaluate the performance of the system.
