Abstract:
A method of extracting and reconstructing court lines includes the steps of binarizing a court image of a court including court lines to form a binary image; performing horizontal projection for the binary image; searching for plural corners in the binary image and defining a court line range by the corners; forming plural linear segments from images within the court line range by linear transformation; defining at least one first cluster and at least one second cluster according to the characteristics of the linear segments and categorizing the linear segments into plural groups; taking an average of each group as a standard court line and creating a linear equation of the standard court line to locate the point of intersection of the standard court lines; and reconstructing the court lines according to the point of intersection. This method is capable of extracting the image of a portion of the court line from a dynamic or static image having a court line quickly to eliminate interference caused by noises coming from a portion other than the court line such as the background color, ambient brightness, people or advertisement, and reconstructing the court lines quickly and accurately to facilitate the determination of the boundary of a court line or the computation of data.
