CAS-FD: Contact-Aware Temporal Sampling for Single-View Foul vs Dive Recognition

arXiv:2608.17060v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Distinguishing a genuine foul from a simulated dive in football remains one of the sport's most contested fine-grained recognition problems, especially when such decisions have to be from a single broadcast view without multi-view camera angle. We introduce a balanced 600-clip single-view Foul/Dive dataset and show that contact-aware sampling concentrating the model's attention around the moment of physical contact rather than treating all frames e...
