Abstract
Methods and systems for finding and ranking video sequences that contain tactical sequences (e.g., an uninterrupted portion of a sporting event) that are similar to tactical event content in a target video sequence, such as those occurring in sports, include learning and labelling (e.g., through use of metadata and the like) tactically significant sequences in a plurality of video segments, including a plurality of such tactically significant sequences in a single video segment.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for determining tactical similarity of video sequences depicting sporting activity, the method comprising:
- receiving, at one or more processors, a first video feed, which depicts a sporting event;
- analysing, with the one or more processors, spatiotemporal data corresponding to the sporting event;
- identifying, with the one or more processors, a first video sequence within the video feed, based on the analysing of the spatiotemporal data;
- generating, with the one or more processors, one or more semantic labels for the first video sequence, based on the analysing of the spatiotemporal data;
- and
- identifying, with the one or more processors, from a library of stored video sequences, one or more stored video sequences that are tactically similar to the first video sequence, using a tactical similarity detection algorithm and the one or more semantic labels for the first video sequence.
A system for determining tactical similarity of video sequences depicting sporting activity, the system comprising:
- one or more computer processors;
- memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more computer processors, cause the one or more computer processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a first video feed, which depicts a sporting event;
- analysing spatiotemporal data corresponding to the sporting event;
- detecting a first video sequence within the video feed, based on the analysing of the spatiotemporal data;
- generating one or more semantic labels for the first video sequence, based on the analysing of the spatiotemporal data;
- and
- identifying from a library of stored video sequences one or more stored video sequences that are tactically similar to the first video sequence, using a tactical similarity detection algorithm and the one or more semantic labels for the first video sequence.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that adapt at least one processor to carry out operations comprising:
- receiving a first video feed, which depicts a sporting event;
- analysing spatiotemporal data corresponding to the sporting event;
- detecting a first video sequence within the video feed, based on the analysing of the spatiotemporal data;
- generating one or more semantic labels for the first video sequence, based on the analysing of the spatiotemporal data;
- and
- identifying from a library of stored video sequences one or more stored video sequences that are tactically similar to the first video sequence, using a tactical similarity detection algorithm and the one or more semantic labels for the first video sequence.
