1. A computer-implemented method for tracking players, the computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors, a plurality of trackable frames for a sporting match, wherein the plurality of trackable frames include body pose information and camera calibration data;
generating, by the one or more processors, one or more sets of tracklets based on the plurality of trackable frames;
predicting, by the one or more processors, a motion of an agent in each of the one or more sets of tracklets based on a motion field of a playing surface of the sporting match; and
outputting, by the one or more processors, a graphical representation of the predicted motion of the agent.
