Abstract
A system for coordinating radar data and image data to track a flight of a projectile includes a radar, an imager, and a controller. The imager provides an image of an area into which a projectile is to be launched. The controller receives the image and an identification of a target within the image and identifies a target line connecting the target and a launch position of the projectile. The controller also receives data from the radar relative to at least a portion of a trajectory of the projectile, generates image based trajectory data by correlating the radar data and the image, and alters the image to include the image based trajectory data within the image and the target line within the image.
Claims24
A system for illustrating the flight of a sports ball, the system comprising:
- a radar;
- a first imager configured to image a moving sports ball;
- and
- a controller receiving radar data from the radar and an image from the first imager and altering an output image of the ball in flight based at least in part on the radar data to illustrate a portion of a trajectory of the moving sports ball in the output image.
A method for illustrating the flight of a sports ball, comprising:
- receiving, from a radar, radar data associated with the sports ball;
- receiving, from a first imager, at least one image including the sports ball;
- and
- altering an output image including the sports ball in flight based at least in part on the radar data to illustrate a portion of a trajectory of the moving sports ball in the altered output image.
