This repository contains a dataset for detecting and mapping keypoints on ice hockey rinks. The dataset contains 661 high resolution frames from SHL in 1920*1080. 

## Features

- Accurate detection of 56 keypoint landmarks on hockey rinks
- Support for various camera angles and lighting conditions
- Handles player occlusions and dynamic game situations
- Trained on diverse SHL (Swedish Hockey League) game footage

## Applications

- Camera calibration and homography estimation
- 2D/3D scene mapping
- Player tracking and analysis
- Broadcast overlay generation
- Game analytics and statistics
- AR/VR applications


## Technical Notes

- Visibility flags for occluded keypoints (0: not present, 1: occluded, 2: visible)
