Abstract
Automated analysis of broadcast soccer game video is a challenging computer vision problem. Prior to performing high-level analysis (such as event detection), accurate classification of shot views and play-break segmentation are required to analyze the structure of soccer video. A novel deep network called parallel feature fusion network (PFF-Net) combines local and full-scene features to produce accurate shot view classification based on camera zoom and out-of-field status. Then, a novel hidden-to-observable Markov model (H <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> O-MM) is introduced to determine play/break status of the shots. Testing is performed using a variety of professional broadcast soccer videos. Variations of the PFF-Net are considered and compared with four existing methods where the PFF-Net demonstrates superior performance (92.6%). The H <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> O-MM has the accuracy of 98.7% for play-break segmentation, which is an improvement over two existing hidden Markov models. The new methods provide improved temporal labeling of broadcast soccer videos, which can be used to further improve overall automated event detection.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
