Hawkeye is an advanced sports technology system.

Hawkeye is an advanced technical system that is mainly used in sports to help officials make accurate decisions about critical moments during the game.

Developed by Dr. Paul Hawkins and his team

Hawkeye was initially introduced as a tool to help tax judges make accurate calls on close line calls.

Using a complex system of cameras and algorithms, HawkEye can track the ball’s trajectory with unparalleled precision.

Hawkeye uses a network of high-speed cameras that surround the playing area to track the trajectory of balls or objects in real-time.

The Hawkeye center has a sophisticated network of high-speed cameras. These cameras capture the movement of the ball from multiple angles, allowing the computer to accurately reconstruct its trajectory. Hawkeye analyzes the data collected from these cameras to determine the exact path of the ball

Hawkeye use in real world

Although Hawkeye is widely recognized in tennis, his impact transcends the boundaries of one sport. Accurate decision making is key.

In cricket, HawkEye is primarily used for LBW decisions and ball tracking. The system uses a combination of cameras placed around the field to track the path of the ball from the bowler’s hand to the batsman.
