1. A method, comprising:
identifying, by a computing system, a plurality of tracks corresponding to a plurality of players from a broadcast video feed captured by a broadcast camera;
determining, by the computing system, one or more features in the plurality of tracks;
determining, by the computing system, a similarity score between a first set of features of the one or more features in a first track of the plurality of tracks and a second set of features of the one or more features in a second track of the plurality of tracks;
comparing, by the computing system, the similarity score to a threshold to determine that the similarity score is higher than the threshold; and
in response to the comparing, determining, by the computing system, that a first player of the plurality of players corresponding to the first set of features and a second player of the plurality of players corresponding to the second set of features are a same player.
