-## 🧠 Capabilities
+## Model Capabilities
+
+### Detection Classes
+The model is trained to detect three primary object classes with high accuracy:
+
+| Class ID | Object Type | Description | Use Case |
+|----------|-------------|-------------|----------|
+| **0** | **Player** | Soccer players from both teams including goalkeepers | Primary tracking target, team assignment, tactical analysis |
+| **1** | **Ball** | Soccer ball in various states (rolling, airborne, stationary) | Possession tracking, game flow analysis, event detection |
+| **2** | **Referee** | Match officials including referees and linesmen | Contextual differentiation, avoiding tracking confusion |
+
+### Multi-Scale Detection
+- **Close-up Shots**: High-precision detection in detailed player views
+- **Medium Shots**: Balanced detection for tactical analysis
+- **Wide-angle Views**: Full-field coverage with consistent detection quality
+- **Aerial Views**: Drone and elevated camera perspectives
 
-- **Robust detection** of small objects like the ball across varied resolutions (160x160 to 1280x1080).
-- Works well on both standard game footage and camera-angled shots.
-- Can be **paired with**:
-  - ⚽ **KMeans clustering** for team classification (with jersey color embeddings from SIGLIP).
-  - 📈 **Ball interpolation** for smooth ball trajectory tracking.
-  - 🧠 Future integration with ByteTrack or BoT-SORT for player tracking.
+### Environmental Robustness

+- **Camera Angles**: Sideline, goal-line, elevated, broadcast standard angles
+
+### Real-world Scenarios
+- **Crowded Scenes**: Penalty area situations with multiple overlapping players

+- **Motion Blur**: Fast-moving players and ball tracking
+- **Scale Variation**: Players at different distances from camera
+
+### Performance Characteristics

+
+The Soccer Object Detection Model is seamlessly integrated throughout the Soccer Analysis Pipeline:
+
+#### **Core Detection Module** (`player_detection/`)
+
+```python
+from player_detection import load_detection_model, get_detections
+import supervision as sv
+
+# Load the trained model
+model = load_detection_model("Models/Trained/yolov11_sahi_1280/Model/weights/best.pt")
+
+# Perform detection on a frame
+player_detections, ball_detections, referee_detections = get_detections(model, frame)
+
+# Results are returned as supervision.Detections objects with:
+# - Bounding boxes in [x1, y1, x2, y2] format  
+# - Confidence scores for each detection
+# - Class IDs (0=Player, 1=Ball, 2=Referee)
+```
+
+#### **Pipeline Integration** (`pipelines/detection_pipeline.py`)
+
+```python
+from pipelines import DetectionPipeline
+
+# Initialize detection pipeline
+pipeline = DetectionPipeline(model_path)
+
+# Video-based detection
+pipeline.detect_in_video("input.mp4", "output_detected.mp4", frame_count=300)
+
+# Real-time detection  
+pipeline.detect_realtime("input.mp4")  # or webcam index: 0
+
+# Frame-level detection
+player_det, ball_det, ref_det = pipeline.detect_frame_objects(frame)
+annotated_frame = pipeline.annotate_detections(frame, player_det, ball_det, ref_det)
