• Human pose estimation in sports
• Multi view geometry applied to the estimation of position and motion of cameras and participants in sports
• Tracking people and objects in sports
• Activity recognition in sports
• Event detection in sports
• Annotation and indexing in sports
• Analysis of injuries in sports
• Performance analysis in sports
• Alternative sensing in sports (beyond the visible spectrum)
• Tactics analysis in sports
• Automatic narration and captioning in sports

Submission guidelines
All papers must be prepared in accordance with the Instructions for Authors at: https://www.springer.com/journal/12283/submission-guidelines (this opens in a new tab). Authors should submit through the online submission site (this opens in a new tab) and select article type “TC - Computer Vision and Machine Learning in Sports Engineering". 

Please indicate your intention to submit a paper to this Topical Collection with an email to the Guest Editors. Please include a tentative title and indicate the type of paper (original research, review, technical note).

Submitted papers should present original, unpublished work, relevant to one of the topics of the Topical Collection. All submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of relevance, significance of contribution, technical quality, scholarship, and quality of presentation, by at least two independent reviewers. It is the policy of the journal that no submission, or substantially overlapping submission, be published or be under review at another journal or conference at any time during the review process. Final decisions on all papers are made by the Editor-in-Chief.

Authors are encouraged to read the recent editorial “How to write a manuscript for Sports Engineering (this opens in a new tab)”.
