    a display screen;

    one or more processors; and

    one or more memory resources storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to;

    capture image data using the image capturing device;

    process the image data to identify a brightness gradient indicating a spherical object, wherein the brightness gradient corresponds to a vector having a direction corresponding to an increased brightness level of a plurality of pixels; and

    identify a center of the spherical object in the image data in part by marking a point with a highest brightness level along the brightness gradient.
