Analysis of Japanese football games by the tracking data and sport live event annotations

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to learn what kind of play would lead to opportunities and to pinches, by using data from the tracking system, as well as live coverage of the real-time sport broadcasting from a game played by Shonan Bellmare and Kashima Antlers, Japanese professional football teams. In this study, we present a novel approach for sports event detection based on analysis and alignment of tracking data and real-time sport broadcasting. Based on these results of analyses, we will evaluate tactics and movements of main players from the standpoint of the better team management.
