Abstract

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for determining a ball's trajectory using a high-speed camera. The invention further relates to determining a ball's trajectory using a single camera. Even more particularly a method has been devised wherein a stored trajectory of the ball along with different related data is used to facilitate sports training and ball tracking in training / gaming environment.
