Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for tracking an object in motion includes, in at least one aspect, a method including: detecting a launch of a ball based on initial data obtained by one or more sensors, sending initial control signals that begin changing at least one of pan, tilt, or zoom for a camera based on a predicted future position of the ball, determining a trajectory of the ball in three-dimensional space based on additional data obtained by the one or more sensors after the launch, and sending additional control signals that control each of the pan, tilt, and zoom for the camera based on an expected future position of the ball along the trajectory.
