Abstract

In this research, we propose a method for classifying a spike event in a volleyball game video. In our method, Person and ball detection and tracking are implemented with the YOLO and the ByteTrack. An action event such as a spike and toss is recognized by focusing on the changes in a player’s bounding box of the tracking result. The spike event is classified from the action events with a trajectory of the ball movement. The precision and recall rates of our method are 95% and 93%, respectively, and it indicates an improvement of 8% over existing method.
