ABSTRACT
Soccer matches consist of spatial and spatiotemporal objects including a ball, players, and a field. Players and ball are also moving objects. This means that spatial and spatiotemporal analysis on ball and players could be useful in studying soccer tactics. From this view point, we extend the application areas of spatial information science to soccer tactic analysis. First we define a feature model to specify the basic units of analysis. Second, we study the morphological properties of each feature type. Third, a set of operations are defined for each feature type. Fourth, we perform an experiment with a real data set of the 2006 World Cup final match to validate the usefulness of our framework. Even though we focus on soccer match, we expect that this framework can be applied to similar sports such as handball and basket ball.

Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Team Sports
Team-based invasion sports such as football, basketball, and hockey are similar in the sense that the players are able to move freely around the playing area and that player and team performance cannot be fully analysed without considering the movements ...
Graph-Based Multiplayer Detection and Tracking in Broadcast Soccer Videos
In this paper, we propose a graph-based approach for detecting and tracking multiple players in broadcast soccer videos. In the first stage, the position of the players in each frame is determined by removing the non player regions. The remaining pixels ...
