Sports Camera Pose Refinement Using an Evolution Strategy

Neural and Evolutionary Computing 2023-10-10 v2

Abstract

This paper presents a robust end-to-end method for sports cameras extrinsic parameters optimization using a novel evolution strategy. First, we developed a neural network architecture for an edge or area-based segmentation of a sports field. Secondly, we implemented the evolution strategy, which purpose is to refine extrinsic camera parameters given a single, segmented sports field image. Experimental comparison with state-of-the-art camera pose refinement methods on real-world data demonstrates the superiority of the proposed algorithm. We also perform an ablation study and propose a way to generalize the method to additionally refine the intrinsic camera matrix.
