Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for pre-processing image data before 3D object tracking includes, in at least one aspect, a method including: receiving, at a first computer, image frames from a camera; identifying, by the first computer, locations of interest in the image frames; finding sequences of the locations, wherein each of the sequences satisfies a motion criterion for locations identified in at least three image frames from the camera; and sending output data for the sequences of the locations to a second computer for processing the sequences in the output data by interpolating between specified 2D positions in specific image frames for the sequences, using timestamps of the specific image frames, to produce a virtual 2D position at a predetermined point in time, which is usable for constructing a 3D track of a ball in motion.
