The models are used in an automatic ice hockey highlight generation pipeline, where structured goal events are converted into edited goal highlights. The classifier labels broadcast frames by camera view. These labels help the pipeline identify the main goal sequence, reaction shots, staff or player close-ups, crowd views, and behind-the-goal material before the final video is assembled. --- ## GitHub Repository The source code for the automatic ice hockey highlight generation pipeline is available on GitHub: [https://github.com/forzasys-students/highlight-generation-icehockey](https://github.com/forzasys-students/highlight-generation-icehockey) --- ## Classes The models classify frames into seven camera-view classes. | Class | Meaning | | :-- | :-- | | `close_up_player_or_field_referee` | Close-up of players or referees | | `close_up_side_or_staff` | Bench, staff, or side-area close-up | | `main_camera_left` | Main camera, left view | | `main_camera_center` | Main camera, center view | | `main_camera_right` | Main camera, right view | | `behind_the_goal` | View from behind or near the goal | | `public_or_fans` | Crowd or fan shot | --- ## Dataset The dataset contains **15,005 annotated frames** from SHL broadcast material. | Class | Frames | | :-- | :-- | | `close_up_player_or_field_referee` | 4,440 | | `close...
