Abstract:
An electronic device and method for detection of intentional contact between an object and a body part of a player are provided. An electronic device receives a plurality of frames of a video from an imaging device. The electronic device tracks a movement of the object and a movement of the body part across the plurality of frames. The electronic device determines, based on the tracked movement, a frame of interest from the plurality of first frames in which degree of overlap between position coordinates of the object and position coordinates of the body part of the player exceeds an overlap threshold. The electronic device detects a contact between the object and the body part of the player based on the frame of interest. The electronic device applies a machine learning model on the frame of interest and the tracked movement to determine whether the contact is intentional.
