in cricket, tennis, snookers and other sports to visually track the path of the ball and display a record of its most statistically likely path as a moving image. Hawk-Eye as the most innovative technology provider in sports broadcasting and is a development that will reinforce the group's presence and influence. It is primarily used by the majority of television networks to track the trajectory of balls in flight
Give a prediction as
A Hawk-Eye system is
process of determining the location of a point by measuring angles to it from known points at either end of a fixed baseline.

Video provided by 6 different cameras placed at 6 different places. The speed of the ball.
(a) Identify each frame from each camera, and groups the corresponding pixels to the image of the ball
(b) Compute for each frame the 3D position of an image thus identified using ball image data from at least two different cameras

(c)Predict a ball flight-path from the said 3D ball position as computed in successive frames (d) Map the predicted path on the modeled area so as to identify any interaction with one or more of the said characteristic features

Used in the third umpire decision(Referral system) At the end of an over, all six deliveries are shown
simultaneously to show a bowler's variations such as bounce, speed variations and ball deviation. To view the deviation of the ball from actual track.

features. We have thus seen that the HAWK EYE is a great innovation, which puts technology to good use in the field of sports. Very fast and accurate(99.99%). Has a great future . This technology helps to have correct decisions in any kind of game.
