Abstract
Systems and methods for ball tracking are provided. An identification processor may be coupled to a ball and may generate wireless signals as the ball is moving. At least three triangulation antennas may be distributed at different locations within an event venue. Such triangulation antennas may receive the wireless signals from the identification processor in real-time. Such signals may be used to determine a real-time location of the ball within the event venue. A controller may then adjust a gimbal to point the camera at the determined real-time location of the ball.
