Soccer replay detection using scene transition structure analysis

Replay scene detection is a useful technique for content based sports video analysis. Most current researchers try to find suitable visual and/or compressed domain features to detect the replay scene from a broadcast video. We present a novel approach using context information from the concurrence of replay and other types of shots to detect the replay scenes. We first perform a shot classification and then a scene transition structure analysis on the generated shot label sequence to extract the replay scene. The proposed model is computationally fast and some promising results were obtained.
