Abstract
A system and method of generating a player tracking prediction are described herein. A computing system retrieves a broadcast video feed for a sporting event. The computing system segments the broadcast video feed into a unified view. The computing system generates a plurality of data sets based on the plurality of trackable frames. The computing system calibrates a camera associated with each trackable frame based on the body pose information. The computing system generates a plurality of sets of short tracklets based on the plurality of trackable frames and the body pose information. The computing system connects each set of short tracklets by generating a motion field vector for each player in the plurality of trackable frames. The computing system predicts a future motion of a player based on the player's motion field vector using a neural network.
