Abstract: A method for monitoring user performance in launching objects at sporting events includes capturing, with an image sensor on glasses worn by a user at a sporting event, two-dimensional (2-D) images of an object launched by a player participating in the sporting event. The launched object and a stationary object at the sporting event are identified. An orientation of the image sensor is determined based on a shape of the stationary object within the 2D images, and locations of the launched object in 3D space are determined based on the 2D images and the determined orientation of the image sensor. The trajectory of the launched object in 3D space is then determined, and the trajectory is used to determine a parameter indicative of a performance of the player for the sporting event. Feedback indicative of the performance of the player is then provided based on the determined parameter.

Abstract: A system for evaluating player performance comprises at least one sensor for capturing images of a player performing a basketball shot. At least one processor is configured to analyze the images to determine a position of the basketball and, based on the determined position, calculate a first value indicative of a shot performance of the player. The processor is further configured to identify a region from which the basketball was shot by the player for the basketball shot. The processor is further configured to calculate, based on whether the basketball shot is made, a second value indicating a shot performance of the player in taking a plurality of basketball shots from the identified region. An output mechanism is configured to display shot performance information associated with the player based on the first value and the second value.

Abstract: A ball feeding system has a ball feeder that is configured to receive a basketball and launch the basketball to a shooter for enabling the shooter to shoot the basketball toward a basketball goal. The ball feeder is coupled to a sensor (e.g., a camera) by an arm that extends from the ball feeder, and the sensor is configured to sense the basketball as it is traveling on a trajectory toward the basketball during a shot of the basketball by the shooter. At least one processor is configured to determine, based on the sensor, at least one trajectory parameter indicative of the trajectory and provide feedback indicative of a performance of the shooter in shooting the basketball.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for evaluating player performance during a sporting event. The system can use one or more sensors to capture information about actions such as shooting, dribbling, kicking and/or passing an object performed by the player and at least one processor to analyze the information in order to evaluate the player's performance. The system can determine and store at least one parameter indicative of the performance of the player in performing an action, and calculate based on the at least one stored parameter at least one value indicative of the player's performance and provide an output indicative of the assessment.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for monitoring user performance in launching objects at sporting events are described. A described method includes capturing, with a camera on glasses worn by a player participating in a sporting event, a plurality of two-dimensional (2-D) images of an object launched by a player participating in the sporting event. The launched object is identified and tracked with the camera for which an orientation is determined using an accelerometer. Based on the tracking, a position of the launched object at a point along a trajectory relative to a stationary object is determined, and an output indicative of user performance is provided based on the determined position of the launched object.

Abstract: A system for enabling dispersed athletic games comprises first and second sensors respectively configured to capture first images of a first player playing a dispersed sporting game on a first court or field and a second player playing the dispersed sporting game on a second court or field. The system also comprises a server configured to analyze the first images and the second images for respectively detecting a first gameplay event associated with the first player and a second gameplay event associated with the second player. The server is configured to determine a change in gameplay based on a comparison of information related to the detected first gameplay event and information related to the detected second gameplay event. The server is further configured to transmit a message for instructing the first player or the second player to play the dispersed game in accordance with the change in gameplay.

Abstract: Systems and methods as disclosed herein automatically provide real-time dosing corrections for an industrial process wherein enzyme blends are applied to natural fibers for pulp/paper production. An initial enzyme blend (e.g., enzymes and supporting formulation components, as relevant) and respective dose rates are selected to be applied based on expected fiber surface substrate characterization, expected fiber quality characterization, the physical conditions of the system being treated, respective characteristics of the initially selected enzyme blend components, etc. Upon application of the initial enzyme blend, online sensors provide real-time feedback data corresponding to measured actual values for the fiber surface substrate characterization and fiber quality characterization. A replacement enzyme blend (enzymes and supporting formulation components) and respective dose rates thereof is dynamically selected based on the feedback data.

Abstract: A system for calibrating a computing device to track basketball shots has a camera for capturing two-dimensional (2-D) images of a basketball shot toward a basketball hoop. The system identifies the basketball and basketball hoop in the 2-D images and determines distances of the basketball from the camera based on sizes of the basketball in the 2-D images. The system also determines angles of the basketball from the camera based on positions of the basketball in the 2-D images. The system calculates a parabolic trajectory of the basketball based on the determined distances and angles and then determines an orientation and a position of the camera in three-dimensional (3-D) space based on the identified basketball hoop and the calculated trajectory. The system stores, in memory, calibration data indicative of the orientation and the position of the camera in 3-D space for use in tracking basketball shots by the computing device.

Abstract: A player monitoring system for compensating for network delays comprises a server that is configured to receive sensor data from multiple sensors at dispersed locations. In some embodiments, a server is configured to determine a delay associated with one network path carrying sensor data to the server and a delay associated with another network path carrying sensor data to the server. Based on the delays, the server is configured to synchronize events detected by the sensors at the dispersed location, thereby permitting more precise and accurate gameplay decisions for a dispersed sporting event.
