| Abstract: |
This paper presents an original algorithm for accurate and stable camera calibration of broadcast tennis video (BTV). That frame-data of BTV is often erroneous results in wildly fluctuating camera parameters. To meet this challenge, we propose a frame grouping technique, which groups frames together according to camera viewpoint. We then use a group-wise data analysis to obtain more stable parameters. Recognizing the fact that some of these parameters do vary somewhat even if they have a similar camera viewpoint, we further employ a Hough-like search to tune them, maximizing the reprojection similarity. This two-tiered process gains stability of the camera parameters, and yet ensures large reprojection similarity via the tuning step. The experimental results show that our algorithm is able to acquire accurate camera matrix. |
