A method for determining a passing time of an object passing a timing line across a sports track comprises receiving a sequence of time-stamped video frames captured by at least one camera representing pictures of a scene of one or more objects moving along a track; determining depth maps for the sequence of frames comprising information regarding the distance between the one or more objects in the picture of a frame and the camera system; detecting one or more objects using an object detection algorithm; determining a detected object in the frames passing a timing line across a track, the timing line being defined by a virtual plane at a predetermined distance from the camera, the determination of the passing being based on the coordinates of the virtual plane and the depth maps; determining a passing time based on a time stamp of a frame comprising a detected object passing the timing line.
