Abstract: Hawkeye system works via six (sometimes seven) high-performance cameras,
normally positioned on the underside of the stadium roof, which track the ball from different
angles. The video from the six cameras is then triangulated and combined to create a threedimensional representation of the trajectory of the ball. Hawk-Eye is not infallible and is
accurate to within 5 millimeters (0.19 inch) but is generally trusted as an impartial second
opinion in sports.
Applications:
Hawk-Eye is a complex computer system used officially in numerous sports such
as cricket, tennis, Gaelic football, hurling andassociation football, to visually track the trajectory
of the ball and display a record of its statistically most likely path as a moving image.
Future Scope:
1. Hawk-Eye is already working on implementing a system for basketball.
2. The Football Association has declared the system as ready for inspection by FIFA", after tests
suggested that the results of a goal-line incident could be relayed to the match referee within
half-a-second(IFAB, the governing body for the Laws of the game,insists on goals being signaled
immediately e.g. within five seconds).
