Abstract(in English) This paper proposes a soccer player tracking method using level sets in soccer video. The level set method is a kind of active contour model. The soccer video we see via TV has a lot of scenes showing the large area of the soccer field. In those scenes, the player's position in a frame is almost the same in the next one. In order to utilize the inter-frame relation, we regard the video as a three-dimensional array consisting of time-series images. By applying the level set method to the array, we can extract the soccer player from the soccer video as three-dimensional regions. Since the same player is extracted as one region all through the frames, we can track the players at the time of the player extraction.
