Sports Tracking is the module available starting from Xeoma 19.11.26 and based on artificial intelligence data sets designed for automatic detection of a sports ball or players in camera’s field of view, and automatic tracking – rotation of the camera to always follow the object. This is especially highly-demanded in video broadcasts of team sports events.
The module can be used for soccer, basketball team games, in different playfield conditions.
No special equipment required – regular commonly available off-shelf computers can be used. No special camera required – any brand or model supporting standard streaming PTZ protocols can be used. Just make sure that the image is clear and the fast moving ball will not be blurred.
Different team games – one solution
Works with basketball, soccer, hockey. More sports can be added at request.
Any equipment
As always, Xeoma requires no special equipment or appliances – any off-shelf computers and cameras will do that allow to see the ball without blurs!
Easy 1-click setup
Connect the module to a PTZ camera in Xeoma, let it get resources, and the system is ready to work!
Simple interface, fully automated work. Just let Xeoma download the datasets for you, and you’re good to go!
Two types of auto tracking: following the ball (available for soccer), or following the mass of players (available for basketball, american football, handball, hockey, etc.)
Switching from one to another is done automatically in Xeoma, based on its internal knowledge data.

The system can recognize objects at distances of 10, 20, 50 and 100 meters from the camera. Note that the size of the recognized object must be at least 100×100 px. |

1. Download Xeoma from official website and launch it. Make sure your Xeoma is in a trial edition or activate a Pro or Standard edition license, as well as the license for the “Sports Tracking” Additional module.
2. Add the “Universal Camera” module to the chain, and then consequently connect the “Sports Tracking” and “Preview and Archive” modules.
3. If you use the dual streaming, then you can tick the box “Use the high resolution stream from archive” in the “Sports Tracking” module’s settings, so that the module receives a high resolution stream:
Attention: in this case the CPU load is expected to be increased.
4. Add necessary filters and reactions to the chain after the “Sports Tracking” module.
Ready!
* The module works in automatic mode: it finds a soccer ball or players in the frame and turns the PTZ camera to track them, no configuration is required. If something doesn’t work or if you need our help, please contact us.
