This project aims to identify and monitor players, referees, and footballs in video footage using YOLO, a top-tier AI object detection model. The model should be trained further to enhance its efficiency. Moreover, categorization of players into teams based on their jersey colors, using Kmeans for pixel segmentation and clustering can be added.
This data will allow us to calculate the percentage of ball possession for each team during a game. Optical flow is implimented to gauge camera movement across frames, which will help in precisely tracking a player's motion. Additionally, perspective transformation is applied to depict the depth and perspective of the scene, enabling the measurement of a player's movement in meters(m) instead of pixels.
Finally, a player's speed and the total distance travelled is calculated. I was aiming to encompass a range of concepts and tackle practical problems, making it an excellent learning opportunity through a rabbit hole.
