Abstract

Performance analysis for basketball development programs are based on the athletes’ movement patterns, playing position on an area, and ball acquisition. The objective of the system is to automate the performance analysis by providing raw statistical data based on the player’s behaviors produced through tracking the player inside the basketball court. Using visual features described by SURF, unoccluded players are localized using a tracking by detection approach with an observed accuracy of 40%. Player positions are also adjusted to compensate for distortions, which improves player localization by 0.11%, on average.
