'Abstract-Field segmentation is a fundamental step in many soccer applications. However, despite its importance, the existing segmentation algorithms are not able to provide successful results in complex scenarios. Moreover, they require the manual selection of several parameters, hindering their usability. Here, an unsupervised field segmentation strategy based on the estimation of the probability density function of the green chromacity of the image is proposed. Results show its ability to provide high-quality results in a wide variety of scenarios.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
