• Title: CLIP-ReIdent: Contrastive Training for Player Re-Identification
• Authors: Konrad Habel, Fabian Deuser, Norbert Oswald
• Abstract summary: We investigate whether it is possible to transfer the out-standing zero-shot performance of pre-trained CLIP models to the domain of player re-identification. Unlike previous work, our approach is entirely class-agnostic and benefits from large-scale pre-training.

• Abstract: Sports analytics benefits from recent advances in machine learning providing a competitive advantage for teams or individuals. One important task in this context is the performance measurement of individual players to provide reports and log files for subsequent analysis. During sport events like basketball, this involves the re-identification of players during a match either from multiple camera viewpoints or from a single camera viewpoint at different times. In this work, we investigate whether it is possible to transfer the out-standing zero-shot performance of pre-trained CLIP models to the domain of player re-identification. For this purpose we reformulate the contrastive language-to-image pre-training approach from CLIP to a contrastive image-to-image training approach using the InfoNCE loss as training objective. Unlike previous work, our approach is entirely class-agnostic and benefits from large-scale pre-training. With a fine-tuned CLIP ViT-L/14 model we achieve 98.44 % mAP on the MMSports 2022 Player Re-Identification challenge. Furthermore we show that the CLIP Vision Transformers have already strong OCR capabilities to identify useful player features like shirt numbers in a zero-shot manner without any fine-tuning on the dataset. By applying the Score-CAM algorithm we visualise the most important image regions that our fine-tuned model identifies when calculating the similarity score between two images of a player.

  Given a query composed of a reference image and a relative caption, the Composed Image Retrieval goal is to retrieve images visually similar to the reference one. We use features from the OpenAI CLIP model to tackle the considered task. We train a Combiner network that learns to combine the image-text features integrating the bimodal information.

  Action spotting involves understanding the dynamics of the game, the complexity of events, and the variation of video sequences. In this work, we focus on the former by (a) identifying and representing the players, referees, and goalkeepers as nodes in a graph, and by (b) modeling their temporal interactions as sequences of graphs. For the player identification task, our method obtains an overall performance of 57.83% average-mAP by combining it with other modalities.

After pre-training, the enhancer can be used as a high-capacity visual encoder for downstream tasks.
