METHOD OF MEASURING A PROPERTY OF A TRAJECTORY OF A BALL WITH A MOBILE COMPUTER DEVICE

摘要

Methods for determining a property of a trajectory of a ball with a mobile computer device are described, which include: (a) capturing a sequence of video frames of the ball with a camera of the mobile computer device; (b) determining a first picture coordinate of the ball in a first video frame of the sequence; (c) determining a second picture coordinate of the ball in a second video frame of the sequence; and (d) computing a property of the trajectory of the ball based on a difference of the first and second picture coordinates, a time difference between the first and second video picture and a reference quantity, which may be determined based on a form and/or dimension of the ball in a picture taken with the camera.

1. A method for determining a property of a trajectory of a ball with a mobile computer device, comprising:
capturing a sequence of video frames of the ball with a camera of the mobile computer device; determining a first picture coordinate of the ball in a first video frame of the sequence; determining a second picture coordinate of the ball in a second video frame of the sequence; and computing a property of the trajectory of the ball using the first and second picture coordinates, a time difference between the first and second video picture and a reference quantity.
