Since 2006, Major League Baseball has used a camera system, similar to cricket or tennis' Hawkeye, to track the speed and movement of a pitch to judge where in the strike-zone and how fast a pitch is thrown. Sadly, the technology does not exist outside of professional sport. The proposed project attempts to create an amateur-accessible version of this system that can track pitch speed and position and accurately call balls and strikes using only a single camera.

The project incorporates aspects of computer vision to recognise and track a baseball in a video. The system determines where in the strike zone a pitch was placed, whether the pitch was a strike, and how fast the pitch is. The project also provides analytical data visualisations about the pitches thrown.
