• Abstract: Skiing is a popular winter sport discipline with a long history of competitive events. In this domain, computer vision has the potential to enhance the understanding of athletes' performance, but its application lags behind other sports due to limited studies and datasets. This paper makes a step forward in filling such gaps. A thorough investigation is performed on the task of skier tracking in a video capturing his/her complete performance. Obtaining continuous and accurate skier localization is preemptive for further higher-level performance analyses. To enable the study, the largest and most annotated dataset for computer vision in skiing, SkiTB, is introduced. Several visual object tracking algorithms, including both established methodologies and a newly introduced skier-optimized baseline algorithm, are tested using the dataset. The results provide valuable insights into the applicability of different tracking methods for vision-based skiing analysis. SkiTB, code, and results are available at https://machinelearning.uniud.it/datasets/skitb.

  dataset contains 454 videos of jump elements, the detected skater skeletons in each video, along with the gold labels of the start and ending frames of each jump, together as a video benchmark for figure skating. We propose air time detection, a novel motion analysis task, the goal of which is to accurately detect the duration of the air time of a jump. To verify the generalizability of the fine-grained labels, we apply the same process to other sports as cross-sports tasks but for coarse-grained task action classification.
