Method and system for the detection and the classification of events during motion actions
First Claim
1. Method for detecting and classifying an event occurred during motion actions of one or more subjects in an area, the occurrence or not of said event depending upon predetermined rules related to said motion and to mutual positions of said subjects in a predetermined time instant, the method comprising the following steps:
- acquiring a plurality of digital images in sequence of said area during the progress of said actions;
processing each image of said plurality of images for extracting first features apt to identify each one of said subjects and second features apt to determine the instantaneous position of each one of said subjects within said area;
classifying said subjects based upon said first and/or second features; and
evaluating the occurrence of said event, by verifying said predetermined rules base upon said first and second features and upon the result of said classification.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a system for detecting and classifying events during motion actions, in particular “offside” event in the football game. The system allows determining such event in a real-time and semi-automatic context, by taking into account the variability of the environmental conditions and of the dynamics of the events which can be traced back to the offside. The present invention proposes itself with a not-invasive technique, compatible with the usual course of the match.

32. System for the detection and the classification of an event occurred during motion actions of one of more subjects in an area, the occurrence or not of said event depending upon predetermined rules related to said motion and to mutual positions of said subjects in a predetermined time moment, the system comprising one or more units for acquiring digital images of said area during the course of said actions, wherein each one of said units comprises:
- means for processing each image of said plurality of images for extracting first features apt to identify each one of said subjects and second features apt to determine the instantaneous position of each one of said subject within said area; and
means for classifying said subjects based upon said first and/or second features;
the system further comprising a supervision unit to evaluate the occurrence of said event, by verifying said predetermined rules based upon said first and second features and upon the result of said classification. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)
