Patent Images

1. A method for basketball comprising:

  • capturing with at least one camera images of at least portions of a first plurality of actual basketball shots by an individual in sequences of video frames;

    analyzing the images by at least one processor;

    determining, by the at least one processor based on the analyzing, trajectories of a basketball from the sequences of video frames for the first plurality of actual basketball shots;

    determining, by the at least one processor, at least one trajectory parameter for each of the first plurality of actual basketball shots from the trajectories determined for the first plurality of actual basketball shots;

    determining, by the at least one processor across the first plurality of actual basketball shots, a variability of the at least one trajectory parameter determined from the trajectories;

    determining, by the at least one processor, a range for the at least one trajectory parameter based on the variability determined by the at least one processor;

    generating, by the at least one processor, a first plurality of simulated basketball shots based on the determined range, wherein for each of the first plurality of simulated basketball shots, the generating comprises;

    (1) selecting a value for the at least one trajectory parameter within the determined range and (2) predicting whether a simulated basketball passes through a simulated basketball hoop based on the selected value for the at least one trajectory parameter; and

    providing, by an interface, an output indicative of a skill level for the individual based on the predicting.
