Abstract
A system for football training includes a plurality of imaging devices configured to capture real-time images indicating movement of the football, a processor, and a memory. The memory includes instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processor cause the system to capture real-time images of the football, determine a telemetry data of the football based on the captured images, and determine instructional feedback in response to the telemetry data of the football.
Claims17
A system for football training comprising:
- a plurality of imaging devices configured to capture real-time images indicating movement of a football, wherein the plurality of imaging devices are further configured to capture the real-time images at different perspectives;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory, including instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by the processor, cause the system to:
- capture real-time images of the football, including at least a top-down perspective, a rear perspective, and a side perspective of the football;
- capture real-time images of a user interacting with the football;
- determine a motion of the user, based on the captured real-time images of the user;
- determine a telemetry data of the football based on the captured real-time images of the football,
- wherein the telemetry data is determined using image recognition by analyzing the captured real-time images of the football for changes in position of the football to extrapolate a trajectory of the football, and wherein the telemetry data includes a velocity, an angle, a position, and the trajectory of the football;
- and
- determine instructional feedback in response to the telemetry data of the football and the determined motion of the user,
- wherein the instructional feedback includes at least one of text, images, video, or symbols providing instructions for improved body placement change based on the determined telemetry data of the football in view of the determined motion of the user captured by the plurality of imaging devices, and wherein the instructional feedback further includes instructions on how to alter kick speed.

A computer-implemented method for football training comprising:
- capturing real-time images of a football by a plurality of imaging devices, including at least a top-down perspective, a rear perspective, and a side perspective of the football;
- capturing real-time images of a user interacting with the football;
- determining a motion of the user based on the captured real-time images of the user;
- determining a telemetry data of the football based on the captured real-time images of the football,
- wherein the telemetry data is determined using image recognition by analyzing the captured real-time images of the football for changes in position of the football to extrapolate a trajectory of the football, and wherein the telemetry data includes a velocity, an angle, a position, and the trajectory of the football;
- and
- determining instructional feedback in response to the telemetry data of the football and the determined motion of the user,
- wherein the instructional feedback includes at least one of text, images, video, or symbols providing instructions for improved body placement change based on the determined telemetry data of the football in view of the determined motion of the user captured by the plurality of imaging devices, and wherein the instructional feedback further includes instruction on how to alter kick speed.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a computer-implemented method for football training, comprising:
- capturing real-time images of a football by a plurality of imaging devices, including at least a top-down perspective, a rear perspective, and a side perspective of the football;
- capturing real-time images of a user interacting with the football;
- determining a motion of the user based on the captured real-time images of the user;
- determining a telemetry data of the football based on the captured real-time images of the football,
- wherein the telemetry data is determined using image recognition by analyzing the captured real-time images of the football for changes in position of the football to extrapolate a trajectory of the football, and wherein the telemetry data includes a velocity, an angle, a position, and the trajectory of the football;
- and
- determining instructional feedback in response to the telemetry data of the football and the determined motion of the user,
- wherein the instructional feedback includes at least one of text, images, video, or symbols providing instructions for improved body placement change based on the determined telemetry data of the football in view of the determined motion of the user captured by the plurality of imaging devices, and wherein the instructional feedback further includes instruction on how to alter kick speed.
