Soccer Player Velocity and Total Distance Covered Tracking
This project aims to estimate two common parameters in soccer player tracking, speed and total distance covered (TDC), using optical tracking (OT), bridging OT system in sports performance. The OT systems are built using tracking-by-detection paradigm, combining object detector (YOLOv10/11/12) and tracking algorithms (SORT, DeepSORT, and ByteTrack). The trainings of the object detection system are done using SoccerNet dataset. The tracking is evaluated on manual-assigned camera dataset. The estimation of speed and TDC is performed on Alfheim dataset, using MAE, RMSE, and r as the metrices. The manual-assigned camera dataset is built using CVAT for tracking datasets.
