Tracking Soccer Players using the Graph Representation

In this project we consider the problem of tracking a soccer player using a static camera. The main goal is to find the position of players in the field at each instance of time to help them improve their game. The main difficulty in tracking the player is during occlusion or congestion. Tracking during occlusion can be done by splitting the segmented blobs using graph representation. Graph nodes correspond to the blobs obtained by image segmentation and edges represent the distance between the blobs.
