Hawk-Eye is a complex computer system used officially in numerous sports such as cricket, tennis, Gaelic football, hurling and association football, to visually track the trajectory of the ball and display a record of its statistically most likely path as a moving image. Hawk-Eye was developed in the United Kingdom by Dr Paul Hawkins. The system was originally implemented in 2001 for television purposes in cricket. The system works via six high-performance cameras, normally positioned on the underside of the stadium roof, which track the ball from different angles. Hawk-Eye is not infallible and is accurate to within 5 millimetres but is generally trusted as an impartial second opinion in sports. It has been accepted by governing bodies in tennis, cricket and association football as a technological means of adjudication. Hawk-Eye system is based on the principle of ‘triangulation’. Triangulation is the process of finding the location of a point by measuring the angles between the point and other points which are fixed. It is a great tool which can be used by players and coaches to analyse previous games and come up with strategies for future ones. The Presentation will give us more details on Hawkey system.
