Hawk-Eye in Cricket

The engineering was initially utilized by Channel 4 amid a Test match in the middle of England and Pakistan on Lord's Cricket Ground. It is utilized basically by the larger part of broadcasting companies to track the trajectory of balls in flight. The third umpire could take a gander at what the ball really did up to the moment that it hit the batsman, however couldn't take a gander at the anticipated flight of the ball after it hit the batsman. Its real use in cricket television is in breaking down leg before wicket choices, where the feasible way of the ball might be anticipated forward, through the batsman's legs, to check whether it would have hit the stumps. Counsel of the third umpire, for ordinary moderate movement or Hawk-Eye, on leg before wicket choices, is as of now endorsed in global cricket despite the fact that questions stay about its correctness in cricket.

The Hawk-eye referral for LBW choice is focused around three criteria:

• Where the ball pitched
• The area of contact with the leg of the batsman
• The anticipated way of the ball past the batsman
• In every one of the three cases, negligible calls bring about the on-field call being kept up.

Because of its real time scope of rocking the bowling alley speed, the frameworks are likewise used to show conveyance examples of bowler's conduct, for example, line and length, or swing/turn data. At the end of an over, every one of the six conveyances are frequently indicated all the while to demonstrate a bowler's varieties, for example, slower conveyances, bouncers and leg-cutters. A complete record of a bowler can additionally be indicated throughout the span of a match. Batsmen likewise profit from the examination of Hawk-Eye, as a record could be raised of the conveyances batsmen scored from. These are frequently indicated as a 2-D silhouetted figure of a batsmen and color coded specks of the balls confronted by the batsman. Data, for example, the accurate spot where the ball pitches or pace of the ball from the bowler's hand can additionally help in post-match dissection.

Hawk-Eye

Hawk-Eye is a complex computer system employed formally in several sports such as cricket, tennis, Gaelic football, hurling and association football, to visually follow the trajectory of the ball and display a record of its most statistically probable path as a moving image.

Hawk-Eye was built in the United Kingdom by Dr Paul Hawkins. The system was initially implemented in 2001 for television uses in cricket. The system works via six (sometimes seven) high-performance cameras, usually placed on the underside of the stadium roof, which track the ball from different angles. 

The video from the six cameras is then triangulated and combined to generate a three-dimensional representation of the trajectory of the ball. Hawk-Eye is not perfect and is accurate to within 5 millimeters (0.19 inch) but is normally trusted as an neutral second opinion in sports.

Hawk-Eye

All Hawk-Eye systems are based on the principles of triangulation using the visual images and timing data provided by a number of high-speed video cameras located at different locations and angles around the area of play. For tennis there are ten cameras. The system rapidly processes the video feeds by a high-speed camera and ball tracker. 

A data store contains a predefined model of the playing area and includes data on the rules of the game. In each frame sent from each camera, the system identifies the group of pixels which corresponds to the image of the ball. It then calculates for each frame the 3D position of the ball by comparing its position on at least two of the physically separate cameras at the same instant in time.

A succession of frames builds up a record of the path along which the ball has traveled. It also "predicts" the future flight path of the ball and where it will interact with any of the playing area features already programmed into the database. The system can also interpret these interactions to decide infringements of the rules of the game. The system generates a graphic image of the ball path and playing area, which means that information can be provided to judges, television viewers or coaching staff in near real time.

Hawkeye

Hawkeye (also known as Goliath and Ronin, and as his alter ego Clint Barton) is a fictional character and comic book superhero who appears in publications by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Don Heck, the character first appeared as a villain in Tales of Suspense #57 (Sept. 1964) and later joined the Avengers in Avengers #16 (May 1965). He has been a prominent member of the team ever since. He was also ranked at #44 on IGN's Top 100 Comic Book Heroes list.

Hawkeye is portrayed by Jeremy Renner in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a shared fictional universe that is the setting of films produced by Marvel Studios. Renner first made a brief, uncredited cameo appearance as Hawkeye in Thor (2011) and later reprised the role in The Avengers (2012).

Hawk-Eye

Hawk-Eye is a complex computer system used in cricket, tennis and other sports to visually track the trajectory of the ball and display a record of its most statistically likely path as a moving image. In cricket and tennis, it is now part of the adjudication process. It was developed by engineers at Roke Manor Research Limited of Romsey, Hampshire in the UK, in 2001. A UK patent was submitted but withdrawn by Dr Paul Hawkins and David Sherry. Later, the technology was spun off into a separate company, Hawk-Eye Innovations Ltd., as a joint venture with television production company Sunset + Vine, which was bought outright by Sony in March 2011.

All Hawk-Eye systems are based on the principles of triangulation using the visual images and timing data provided by at least four high-speed video cameras located at different locations and angles around the area of play. The system rapidly processes the video feeds by a high-speed video camera and ball tracker. A data store contains a predefined model of the playing area and includes data on the rules of the game.
In each frame sent from each camera, the system identifies the group of pixels which corresponds to the image of the ball.

It also "predicts" the future flight path of the ball and where it will interact with any of the playing area features already programmed into the database. The system can also interpret these interactions to decide infringements of the rules of the game.

The system generates a graphic image of the ball path and playing area, which means that information can be provided to judges, television viewers or coaching staff in near real time.

The pure tracking system is combined with a backend database and archiving capabilities so that it is possible to extract and analyse trends and statistics about individual players, games, ball-to-ball comparisons, etc.
