This paper deals with the problem of tracking football players in a football match using data from a single moving camera. Tracking footballers from a single video source is dicult: not only do the football players occlude each other, but they frequently enter and leave the camera's eld of view, making initialisation and destruction of a player's tracking a dicult task. The system presented here uses particle lters to track players. The multiple state estimates used by a particle lter provide an elegant method for maintaining tracking of players following an occlusion. Automated tracking can be achieved by creating and stopping particle lters depending on the input player data.
In REF , a football player tracking system is presented.
