Training devices for trajectory-based sports

A system comprising:

• a first device including:
• a) one or more image capture devices for recording image;
• b) a logic device designed or configured to i) receive the image data wherein the image data includes images of a person shooting a basketball shot, ii) receive a statistical deviation of a trajectory parameter that characterizes a skill at which the person is able to shoot a basketball, the statistical deviation determined from trajectory measurements of a plurality of basketball shots previously taken by the person;
• iii) based upon the image data and the statistical deviation of the trajectory parameter that characterize the skill at which the person is able to shoot the basketball, predict a probability of the basketball shot being made or missed;
• and
• one or more output mechanisms for providing the predicted probability of the basketball shot being made or missed and
• d) a first wireless interface
• a second device including a) a video display, b) a storage device for storing data generated by the first device, c) a second wireless interface configured to communicate with the first device via the first wireless interface and to upload data to a remote device separate from the first device.

A method in a system including an image capture device for recording image data, an output mechanism and a logic device, said logic device, communicatively coupled to the image capture device and the output mechanism, including a processor and a memory, the method comprising:

• receiving in the processor image data wherein the image data includes images of a person shooting a basketball shot;
• receiving in the processor a statistical deviation of a trajectory parameter that characterizes a skill at which the person is able to shoot a basketball, the statistical deviation determined from trajectory measurements of a plurality basketball shots previously taken by the person;
• based upon the image data and the statistical deviation of the trajectory parameter that characterizes the skill at which the person is able to shoot the basketball, predicting a probability of the basketball shot being made or missed;
• and
• controlling in the processor output of the feedback information wherein the feedback information includes the predicted probability of the basketball shot being made or missed.
