ABSTRACT
In this paper, we introduce a method to estimate 3D position of a badminton shuttle using unsynchronized multiple-view videos. The research of object tracking for sports is conducted as an application of Computer Vision to improve the tactics involved with such sports. This paper proposes a technique to stably estimate object's position by using motion blur that used be considered as observational noise in the ordinary works. Badminton shuttle has a large variation of the moving speed, the motion trajectory is unpredictable and moreover the observation size is very small. Thus, it cannot be grasped correctly with human eyes. We apply our proposed technique to badminton shuttle tracking to confirm the ability of our method to enhance the human vision. We also consider that there is some contribution to augment sports in future.

Real-time ball-position measurement using multi-view cameras for live football broadcast
We developed a robust ball-position-measurement system that can be used for actual football games. It measures the positions of a ball by integrating tracking results from multi-view cameras in real time. The positions can be used for calculating ...
Estimation of 3D Gazed Position Using View Lines
ICIAP '03: Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Image Analysis and ProcessingWe propose a new wearable system that can estimate the 3D position of a gazed point by measuring multiple binocular view lines. In principle, 3D measurement is possible by the triangulation of binocular view lines. However, it is difficult to measure ...
Single and Multiple Object Tracking Using Log-Euclidean Riemannian Subspace and Block-Division Appearance Model
Object appearance modeling is crucial for tracking objects, especially in videos captured by nonstationary cameras and for reasoning about occlusions between multiple moving objects. Based on the log-euclidean Riemannian metric on symmetric positive ...
