Abstract
A system for tracking an object includes a first tracking device aimed so that a first field of view of the first tracking device covers at least a portion of a target volume into which an object is to be launched from a launch location and a processor receiving data from the tracking device and identifying from the data the velocity of the object over time, the processor identifying, based on changes in the velocity of the object over time, a first portion of a path of the object during which the object was in one of a bouncing state and a sliding state.
Claims29
A system, comprising:
- a tracking device aimed so that a first field of view of the tracking device covers at least a portion of a target volume into which an object is to be launched from a launch location;
- and
- a processor receiving, from the tracking device, data of the object over a time span as the object travels through the first field of view and identifying from the data a velocity of the object over time as the object travels through the first field of view, the processor determining, which of a bouncing state, a sliding state and a rolling state the object is in at a given time during the time span.

A method, comprising:
- positioning a tracking device aimed so that a field of view of the tracking device covers at least a portion of a target volume into which an object is to be launched from a launch location;
- identifying, from data of the object over a time span as the object travels through the first field of view, a velocity of the object over time as the object travels through the first field of view;
- determining, which of a bouncing state, a sliding state and a rolling state the object is in at a given time during the time span.
