"The players and ball are the most important object in soccer game videos and detected them are a challenging task because of many difficulties, such as shadow and illumination, ball size, several other objects look like a ball, often the ball overlapping with players or merged with lines, as well as the ball may be disappear which be hidden in the stadium or flying on air, and similar appearance of players, etc. The detect ball is the first step for tracking in broadcast soccer video. There are several methods of ball-tracking are based on their problem. In this paper, we have discussed different methods of object detection and tracking in the soccer videos which are available in the literature.

Situational awareness is a critical aspect of the decision-making process in emergency response and civil protection and requires the availability of up-to-date information on the current situation. In this context, the related research should not only encompass developing innovative single solutions for (real-time) data collection, but also on the aspect of transforming data into information so that the latter can be considered as a basis for action and decision making. Unmanned systems (UxV) as data acquisition platforms and autonomous or semi-autonomous measurement instruments have become attractive for many applications in emergency operations. This paper proposes a multipurpose situational awareness platform by exploiting advanced on-board processing capabilities and efficient computer vision, image processing, and machine learning techniques. The main pillars of the proposed platform are: (1) a modular architecture that exploits unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and terrestrial assets; (2) deployment of on-board data capturing and processing; (3) provision of geolocalized object detection and tracking events; and (4) a user-friendly operational interface for standalone deployment and seamless integration with external systems. Experimental results are provided using RGB and thermal video datasets and applying novel object detection and tracking algorithms. The results show the utility and the potential of the proposed platform, and future directions for extension and optimization are presented.
