Abstract
A system for creating an artificial strike zone is disclosed. One or more cameras, such as a first camera and a second camera, are installed on a sports field, wherein the first camera is installed at a first location, and the second camera, when installed, is installed at a second location. Each camera is directed at a common focal point. Each camera captures an individual video stream. Processors detect a batter near the common focal point in at least one of the video streams and construct a virtual strike zone above the common focal point and in front of the batter based on each of the individual video streams, one or more stance characteristics of the batter, and one or more physical characteristics of the batter. A width of the strike zone is drawn based on and in relation to the width of the common focal point.
