Abstract
Systems and methods for constructing a grid model within video are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: overlay one or more field line, hashmark line, or sideline on one or more frame of video; construct a plurality of evenly spaced longitudinal lines parallel to the one or more field line; detect, using a neural network model, one or more field object in the one or more fame of video; construct one or more anchor line along a top portion of a detected field object; construct a plurality of evenly spaced latitudinal lines parallel to the one or more hashmark line or the one or more anchor line; and overlay the plurality of evenly spaced longitudinal lines, the one or more anchor line, or the plurality of evenly spaced latitudinal lines on the one or more frame of video.
