First Claim
Patent Images
1. Sports equipment, comprising:
- an optical sensor embedded within the sports equipment, the optical sensor including;
an image array, and a navigation engine that receives image information originating from the image array and performs a correlation on the image information to calculate overlap of images and to determine shift between images in order to detect motion.
