Our research aims to generate a player's view video stream by using a 3D free-viewpoint video technique. Since player trajectories are necessary to generate the video, we propose a realtime player trajectory estimation method by utilizing the shadow regions from soccer scenes. This paper describes our trial to realize real-time processing. We divide the process into capture and server computers. In addition, we reduced the processing cost with pipeline parallelization and optimization. We apply our proposed method to an actual soccer match held in a stadium and show its effectiveness.
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.
