Method and apparatus for visualizing a ball trajectory

Abstract

An apparatus for visualizing a ball trajectory includes a trajectory determination module configured to analyze motion videos of a flying ball captured by a plurality of cameras to determine a trajectory of the flying ball, said trajectory of the flying ball being defined by 3-dimensional coordinates; and an image rendering module configured to render a sequence of images of the ball from a batter's viewpoint based on the 3-dimensional coordinates, said image rendering module being further configured to control different background scenes to be included in the sequence of images of the ball as the ball approaches toward the batter in the sequence of images of the ball.
