Abstract

A solution is provided for object tracking in a sports video is disclosed. A determination whether a position of the object was identified in a previous video frame is made. If the position of the object was identified in the previous video frame, a new position of the object is identified in a current video frame based on the identified position of the object in the previous video frame. An expected position of the object is identified based on the identified position of the object in the previous video frame and a trained object classification model. A determination is made whether the new position is consistent with the expected position; if the new position is consistent with the expected position, the new position is stored as the position of the object in the current frame.
