Abstract
A method for jockey and horse recognition and tracking. The method includes receiving input images or a sequence of images obtained from horse racing videos or video streams; extracting features from the images by computational methods; locating jockey and horse positions of a target horse in the images by the computational methods; deciding to accept or reject the computed jockey and horse positions according to an acceptance function; and producing the final jockey and horse positions and their associated information by an error correction algorithm.
