CS4243 Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Project

This is a project that invovles stitching 3 videos of a soccer match into a panorama view, and transform the view into a top down view with the players' position being shown.

###Requirements:

1. 3 videos of the soccer match named the following:

• football_left.mp4
• football_mid.mp4
• football_right.mp4

###Procedure:

1. Run Generate_Panorama.py to generate the stitched up video, and a folder named "FullSize" which contains the full resolution of the stitched up frames for further processing. Do take note that the FullSize folder is more than 14GB

2. Next, using the frames in FullSize folder, we aim to track the players and the referee.

3. Generate a background image by running backgroundMaker.py, which takes in the frames from FullSize folder, and runs an averaging algorithm to get the background of the scene.

4. Run Player_detection_final to generate a text document of the players' position

5. Finally, call upon topDown.py to produce the top down video, and the panorama video with the offside line.
