A method for adaptive user training and gaming utilizing a media player is disclosed that includes acquiring images from cameras surrounding a training environment and attempting to segment a ball and a human in each of the images, wherein when failing to segment either the ball or the human in a first image, the first image is rejected from further processing. The operations additionally include creating masks of the ball and the human, extracting features for both the ball and the human in each of the remaining images, and computing surface information of the training environment using photoclinometry. For each of the remaining images, the operations includes computing a distance between the ball and the human. Additionally, the operations include identifying an image having the greatest distance between the ball and the human and computing a three-dimensional topography from the identified image.

Generating a three-dimensional topography of a training environment

Disclosed herein is a system and method directed to object tracking and metric generation using a plurality of cameras. The system includes the plurality of cameras disposed around a playing surface in a mirrored configuration, where the plurality of cameras are time-synchronized. The system further includes logic that, when executed by a processor, causes performance of operations including: obtaining a sequence of images from a plurality of cameras, determining a subsection of a first image of the sequence of images having a highest probability of including the object, detecting the object within the subsection of the first image through object recognition processing, triangulating a location of the object within the playing space using the first image and the second image, and determining a subsection of a third image of the sequence of images having a highest probability of including the object based on the triangulated location of the object.

Systems and methods for object tracking using a subsection of a sequence of images

Disclosed herein is a system and method directed to object tracking using plurality of cameras. The system includes the plurality of cameras disposed around a playing surface in a mirrored configuration, and where the plurality of cameras are time-synchronized. The system further includes logic that, when executed by a processor, causes performance of operations including: obtaining a sequence of images from the plurality of cameras, continuously detecting an object in image pairs at successive points in time, wherein each image pair corresponds to a single point in time, continuously determining a location of the object within the playing space through triangulation of the object within each image pair, determining wall coordinates of a wall that the object is expected to contact based on the continuously determined location of the object and causing rendering of a visual graphic based on the wall coordinates.

System, method and apparatus for object tracking and human pose estimation

A method for adaptive user training and gaming utilizing a media player is disclosed. The method includes operations of receiving, by control logic, data pertaining to selection of a first training program, transmitting, by the control logic, media instructions to cause activation of a media player configured to display visual data corresponding to the first training program, and transmitting, by the control logic, ball-throwing instructions to cause activation of a ball-throwing machine configured to impart motion to one or more balls in accordance with the first training program. The method includes additional operations of recording, by the control logic, an indication of the first training program in a player profile. Additional operations includes recording, by the control logic, training data indicating metrics associated with performance of the first training program.
