abstract = "Offside is one of the situations that is analyzed by the Video
Assistant Referee (VAR). However, it has caused some controversy
due to the delay in the analysis and definition of the
irregularity. This work proposes a method that helps in the
analysis of offside situations and also makes it available for
nonprofessional matches. Here, image processing algorithms were
used to determine offside situations in football matches from TV
videos, of course, in accordance with the game regulation. The
method includes the image vanishing point identification, camera
calibration and the virtual offside line drawing. The method
presented good results from 10 videos selected for analysis, with
five from the right side of the field and five on from the left
side. Among the videos, one was chosen as the basis for explaining
the development of the method and demonstrate a situation with a
virtual line drawn automatically, therefore determining an offside
situation. As a result, the virtual line is identified by the
color red when the manually selected player is in offside and
green when he is not.",
