A Top-Down Framework for Metric-Scale Athlete Localization from Single Broadcast Frames

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 2, 2026 · UTC

Accurate world-coordinate localization of athletes from single-frame broadcast footage is inherently challenging due to extreme scale disparities in ultra-high-resolution imagery. In this paper, we propose a top-down framework for metric-scale athlete localization from a single calibrated frame. Our approach centers on three key contributions. First, we propose Boundary-Aware Adaptive Tiling, a semantics-guided extension of standard sliced inference. By iteratively expanding tile boundaries based on coarse bounding-box predictions, it systematically ensures full object containment, effectively
