System And Method For Generating Trackable Video Frames From Broadcast Video
A system and method of generating trackable frames from a broadcast video feed are provided herein. A computing system retrieves a broadcast video feed for a sporting event. The broadcast video feed includes a plurality of video frames. The computing system generates a set of frames for classification using a principal component analysis model. The set of frames are a subset of the plurality of video frames. The computing system partitions each frame of the set of frames into a plurality of clusters. The computing system classifies each frame of the plurality of frames as trackable or untrackable. Trackable frames capture a unified view of the sporting event. The computing system compares each cluster to a predetermined threshold to determine whether each cluster comprises at least a threshold number of trackable frames. The computing system classifies each cluster that includes at least the threshold number of trackable frames as trackable.

- 1. A method of generating trackable frames from a broadcast video feed, comprising:
retrieving, by a computing system, a broadcast video feed for a sporting event, the broadcast video feed comprising a plurality of video frames; generating, by the computing system, a set of frames for classification using a principal component analysis model, wherein the set of frames are a subset of the plurality of video frames; partitioning, by the computing system, each frame of the set of frames into a plurality of clusters; classifying, by the computing system, each frame of the plurality of frames as trackable or untrackable, wherein trackable frames capture a unified view of the sporting event; comparing, by the computing system, each cluster to a predetermined threshold to determine whether each cluster comprises at least a threshold number of trackable frames; and classifying, by the computing system, each cluster that comprises at least the threshold number of trackable frames as trackable.
- 8. A system for re-identifying players in a broadcast video feed, comprising:
a processor; and a memory having programming instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by the processor, performs one or more operations, comprising:
retrieving a broadcast video feed for a sporting event, the broadcast video feed comprising a plurality of video frames;
generating a set of frames for classification using a principal component analysis model, wherein the set of frames are a subset of the plurality of video frames;
partitioning each frame of the set of frames into a plurality of clusters;
classifying each frame of the plurality of frames as trackable or untrackable, wherein trackable frames capture a unified view of the sporting event;
comparing each cluster to a predetermined threshold to determine whether each cluster comprises at least a threshold number of trackable frames; and
classifying each cluster that comprises at least the threshold number of trackable frames as trackable.
- 15. A non-transitory computer readable medium including one or more sequences of instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, perform one or more operations comprising:
retrieving, by a computing system, a broadcast video feed for a sporting event, the broadcast video feed comprising a plurality of video frames; generating, by the computing system, a set of frames for classification using a principal component analysis model, wherein the set of frames are a subset of the plurality of video frames; partitioning, by the computing system, each frame of the set of frames into a plurality of clusters; classifying, by the computing system, each frame of the plurality of frames as trackable or untrackable, wherein trackable frames capture a unified view of the sporting event; comparing, by the computing system, each cluster to a predetermined threshold to determine whether each cluster comprises at least a threshold number of trackable frames; and classifying, by the computing system, each cluster that comprises at least the threshold number of trackable frames as trackable.
