Abstract
A system and method for model-based camera tracking and image occlusion removal for a camera viewing a sports field (or other scene) includes receiving a synthesized data set comprising at least one empty field image of the field, the empty field image with at least one occlusion graphic, and camera parameters corresponding to the empty field image, training a neural network model to estimate the empty field image and the corresponding camera parameters by providing the model with an input training image comprising the empty field image with occlusion graphic, and providing the model with model output targets comprising the empty field image and the corresponding camera parameters as targets for the model, receiving by the neural network model, alive input image comprising a view of the field with live occlusions, and providing by the neural network model, using trained model parameters, estimated live camera parameters or an estimated empty field image associated with the live input image.
