This paper proposes a method of measuring team advantage to facilitate understanding of soccer game contents in TV images. In the proposed method, the team advantage is represented by possibility of getting a goal. The possibility is defined by using a novel player-action model, which is realized by a Markov-chain model. The Markov-chain model is suitable to realize the player-action model, because it denotes the transition probability between two states; that is, in the proposed method, player action states and their result ones, such as "Shoot", "Goal", etc. By using the player-action model, the proposed method can analyze the games more effectively than the other traditional methods, which utilize only the player locations. Consequently, through the proposed method, the users can not only understand the soccer game situations, such as the scenes that the players scrambled to get a ball, the favorite team of the users is getting a goal, etc, but also watch the games from the technical and tactical perspectives. Some experiments on real soccer videos have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method.
