Diagnosis of ophthalmologic diseases in canines based on images using neural networks for image segmentation.

The primary challenge in diagnosing ocular diseases in canines based on images lies in developing an accurate and reliable machine learning method capable of effectively segmenting and diagnosing these conditions through image analysis. Addressing this challenge, the study focuses on developing and rigorously evaluating a machine learning model for diagnosing ocular diseases in canines, employing the U-Net neural network architecture as a foundational element of this investigation. Through this extensive evaluation, the authors identified a model that exhibited good reliability, achieving prediction scores with an Intersection over Union (IoU) exceeding 80 %, as measured by the Jaccard index.

Analysis of Movement and Activities of Handball Players Using Deep Neural Networks.

This paper focuses on image and video content analysis of handball scenes and applying deep learning methods for detecting and tracking the players and recognizing their activities. Handball is a team sport of two teams played indoors with the ball with well-defined goals and rules. The game is dynamic, with fourteen players moving quickly throughout the field in different directions, changing positions and roles from defensive to offensive, and performing different techniques and actions.

3D Pose Estimation and Tracking in Handball Actions Using a Monocular Camera.

Player pose estimation is particularly important for sports because it provides more accurate monitoring of athlete movements and performance, recognition of player actions, analysis of techniques, and evaluation of action execution accuracy. All of these tasks are extremely demanding and challenging in sports that involve rapid movements of athletes with inconsistent speed and position changes, at varying distances from the camera with frequent occlusions, especially in team sports when there are more players on the field. A prerequisite for recognizing the player's actions on the video footage and comparing their poses during the execution of an action is the detection of the player's pose in each element of an action or technique.

An overview of Human Action Recognition in sports based on Computer Vision.

Human Action Recognition (HAR) is a challenging task used in sports such as volleyball, basketball, soccer, and tennis to detect players and recognize their actions and teams' activities during training, matches, warm-ups, or competitions. HAR aims to detect the person performing the action on an unknown video sequence, determine the action's duration, and identify the action type. The main idea of HAR in sports is to monitor a player's performance, that is, to detect the player, track their movements, recognize the performed action, compare various actions, compare different kinds and skills of acting performances, or make automatic statistical analysis.

Active Player Detection in Handball Scenes Based on Activity Measures.

In team sports training scenes, it is common to have many players on the court, each with his own ball performing different actions. Our goal is to detect all players in the handball court and determine the most active player who performs the given handball technique. This is a very challenging task, for which, apart from an accurate object detector, which is able to deal with complex cluttered scenes, additional information is needed to determine the active player.
