The system will be tested for 12 months. It relies on records from about a million other thrown balls to calculate the approximate trajectory.
Arjun Verma, co-founder and CEO of Fulltrack AI, said the system uses a mix of models to make a decision.
“We (use) a 2D ball detection model (combined) with a physics model and use it to extract a full 3D ball trajectory,” he said.
The technology will…
