Current and Emerging Topics in Sports Video Processing

Sports video processing is an interesting topic for research, since the clearly defined game rules in sports provide the rich domain knowledge for analysis. Moreover, it is interesting because many specialized applications for sports video processing are emerging. This paper gives an overview of sports video research, where we describe both basic algorithmic techniques and applications.
