In this paper, we propose a new soccer video database named SoccerDB, comprising 171,191 video segments from 346 high-quality soccer games. The database contains 702,096 bounding boxes, 37,709 essential event labels with time boundary and 17,115 highlight annotations for object detection, action recognition, temporal action localization, and highlight detection tasks. To our knowledge, it is the largest database for comprehensive sports video understanding on various aspects. We further survey a collection of strong baselines on SoccerDB, which have demonstrated state-of-the-art performances on independent tasks. Our evaluation suggests that we can benefit significantly when jointly considering the inner correlations among those tasks. We believe the release of SoccerDB will tremendously advance researches around comprehensive video understanding. {\\itshape Our dataset and code published on https://github.com/newsdata/SoccerDB.}","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.04465v4","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/1912.04465v4.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"comprehensive-soccer-video-understanding","repo_url":"https://github.com/newsdata/SoccerDB","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"action-classification","task_name":"Action Classification"},{"task_slug":"action-detection","task_name":"Action Detection"},{"task_slug":"action-localization","task_name":"Action Localization"},{"task_slug":"action-recognition-in-videos","task_name":"Action Recognition"},{"task_slug":"highlight-detection","task_name":"Highlight Detection"},{"task_slug":"object-detection","task_name":"Object Detection"},{"task_slug":"action-recognition","task_name":"Temporal Action Localization"},{"task_slug":"video-understanding","task_name":"Video Understanding"},{"task_slug":"object-detection-1","task_name":"object-detection"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[{"slug":"soccerdb","name":"SoccerDB","full_name":""}],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
