# Action Spotting in Soccer Videos Using Dense Detection Anchors

This repository contains models for action spotting in soccer videos. For
more details around the models and instructions on how to use them, please see
https://github.com/yahoo/spivak.

The technical details of our models are described in the
following two papers, which focus on action spotting
on the SoccerNet dataset.
- [Temporally Precise Action Spotting in Soccer Videos Using
Dense Detection Anchors](https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.10450).
In ICIP, 2022.
- [Action Spotting using Dense Detection Anchors Revisited:
Submission to the SoccerNet Challenge 2022](https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.07846).
arXiv preprint, 2022.

Our action spotting models came in first place in the SoccerNet Challenge 2022. You can
read more about the 2022 challenge and results in the following paper:
- [SoccerNet 2022 Challenges Results](https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.02365).
In MMSports, 2022.
