In this project we propose a method based on uncalibrated video analysis techniques to correctly compute the observation model from broadcast sport video sequences acquired by active zooming cameras. In these sequences the observation model changes frame by frame. For example the 3D players position measured in frames with high zoom, is more accurate (less uncertain) than the position measured in wide angle images. The importance of the correct propagation of such uncertainty is very important when the camera moves and players exit and enter from the field of iew. In this condition keeping players identity at later time in the sequence is very challenging especially for the scale change due to zooming effect. The problem will be even more complicated when the appearance of targets does not discriminate between targets. We argued that good performance in prediction (which is strongly dependent on the observation model) can improve the robustness of target tracking especially during disappearance and reappearance of target objects.
