dc.titleImage enlightening with deep learning for playground lighting enhancement with action recognitionen_US
dcterms.abstractThis thesis addresses the challenges of automated action recognition in amateur soccer games, with a particular focus on overcoming the limitations posed by poor lighting conditions. While significant progress has been made in professional soccer analysis, amateur games present unique challenges including limited labeled data, diverse and unstructured video content, and frequently suboptimal lighting conditions.en_US
dcterms.abstractOur key contribution is a unique domain transfer approach that addresses these challenges through innovative low-light enhancement. The solution comprises two synergistic components: an action recognition model pre-trained on professional matches, and a specialized low-light image enhancement system that serves as a preprocessing step. To overcome the scarcity of training data for low-light conditions, we develop a novel diffusion-based framework for synthetic data generation, creating diverse and realistic low-light scenarios.en_US
dcterms.abstractOur primary contribution is a robust preprocessing framework that enhances visibility in poorly lit scenes while preserving crucial action details. This framework bridges the domain gap between amateur and professional footage, enabling more accurate action recognition across varying lighting conditions.en_US
dcterms.abstractOur research contributes new methodologies in low-light image processing and provides a theoretical framework for addressing the challenges of amateur sports analysis. The proposed approach lays groundwork for future developments in grassroots sports analytics, particularly in resource-constrained environments.en_US
