An application based on spatial-relationship to basketball defensive strategies

Abstract

This paper aims to develop a simulated system used for teaching and training basketball defensive strategies. Respectively, defensive strategies can be described within one method by editing video recorded from basketball games into desired clips for analysis and storing them into the database. In this paper, we used Spatial-Temporal Relationships to describe the local defensive movements by the basketball players in a game. The system will automatically capture tracks of defensive movements by the basketball players in the video clips, from which basketball coaches and players can learn various defensive strategies within the shortest period of time. The simulated system is expected to become a computerized educational aid to basketball teaching and training and to replace the unscientific and stereotyped system of basketball teaching and training. © IFIP International Federation for Information Processing 2005.
