21st Century Pong
Gregory T. Byrd · Computer · 2015
Cornell University students built a system that tracks a Ping-Pong ball in real time and keeps score. The Web extra at https://youtu.be/r7VtgzPPYy4 is a video demonstration in which Cornell students Pol Rosello (CS), Taylor Pritchard (ECE), and Frank Xie (ECE), describe and demonstrate their Table Tennis Tracker system. The system analyzes a video stream to track the location of the ball and to automatically keep score. Video provided by Dr. Bruce Land.
