Claim 9:
10. The method of claim 9, wherein the determining of the ball carrier based on the tracking information of the plurality of players and the 3D position of the ball comprises:
building a graph including a plurality of nodes that correspond to the plurality of players and edges connecting the plurality of players for each frame, wherein each node is identified with a jersey number and a team class;
extracting a feature vector for each player based on the tracking information of the plurality of players and the 3D position of the ball;
determining a single frame confidence for each of the plurality of players based on a node classification model with the graph and the feature vector for each node in the graph; and
calculating a multiple frame confidence for a player based on single frame confidences in multiple frames, wherein a player with a maximum multiple frame confidence is determined as the ball carrier.
