Automatic player's view generation of real soccer scenes

Nozomu Kasuya, Computer Vision and Imaging Media Laboratory, University of Tsikuba, Japan

In this talk, a method to generate a player’s view video of an actual soccer match using a 3D free-viewpoint video technique is introduced. The generated video provides an immersive sight as if the user is running on the pitch. To generate the player views, the target player’s 3D trajectory must be estimated. We developed a novel computer vision technique for player tracking that robustly works in an actual soccer stadium.
