Hawk-Eye is the name of a computer and camera system that tracks a ball’s trajectory. Hawk-Eye is equipped to make accurate calculations even with wind, camera wobble, bright sunlight, shadows, dark or overcast conditions, and artificial floodlights. Hawk-Eye is used in international cricket and tennis, and many other sports are looking to make use of this technology as well. The system is also being used for goal line assessment in soccer. The Hawk-Eye used a camera to take 600 frames a second on the goal-line, once the information has been analyzed by a computer it is then sent to the referee’s headset or wrist device.
