Abstract :
In this paper we report on our experience in the detection and recognition of soccer highlights in videos using hidden Markov models. A first approach relies on camera motion only, whereas a second one also includes information regarding the location of players on the playing field. While the former approach requires less information, the latter has proven to be more precise. Our experimental evaluation yields interesting results.
