Abstract
In a first step, a time series of images are resized to a smaller dimension, and the smaller images are fed into a first classifier that is trained to classify as a ball any objects in the smaller images that resemble a ball. In a second step, the smaller images are mapped back to the series of images, and regions in the series of images that contain the mapped ball are cropped from the series of images. The mapped ball is shifted based on a velocity of the mapped ball in the cropped regions, and the second classifier regresses center coordinates and a radius of the shifted ball, classifies whether the shifted ball is the ball based on a confidence score, and updates the shifted ball in the cropped regions based on the regressed center coordinates and radius.
