THREE-LEVEL SCHEME FOR EFFICIENT BALL TRACKING
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A ball detection and tracking method, comprising:
- receiving a global view frame of a frame of a multiple-frame video;
selecting multiple ball candidates from the global view frame;
generating initial trajectories through linking adjacent ball candidates in a spatial-temporal domain; and
using path optimization to obtain a true trajectory from the initial trajectories obtained.

Abstract
A three-level ball detection and tracking method is disclosed. The ball detection and tracking method employs three levels to generate multiple ball candidates rather than a single one. The ball detection and tracking method constructs multiple trajectories using candidate linking, then uses optimization criteria to determine the best ball trajectory.
