We have conducted our experiments on one day international matches, test matches and T20 matches summing up to 50 hours of video. We have compared the classification of pitch/ground view using sift features. Features proposed by us have produced promising results which is presented in Table 1.
Pitch/Ground View Classification | Precision | Recall |
Our Method | 0.982 | 0.973 |
Sift features | 0.675 | 0.647 |
Our method had successfully detected deliveries with overall precision of 0.935 and recall of 0.957. The result is presented in Table 2.
Match Type | Precision | Recall |
ODI | 0.932 | 0.973 |
Test Match | 0.893 | 0.931 |
T20 | 0.982 | 0.967 |
The filtered retrieval of deliveries is presented in Fig 6.
