Patent attributes
A system for automatically detecting made and missed basketball shots using machine vision includes a launcher connected to a structural subassembly which passes basketballs to locations about a basketball playing area. One or more cameras are connected to the structural subassembly and capture images of an underside or an upper side of a rim of the basketball goal. One or more controllers program the launcher to pass the basketballs to select locations forming part of a basketball practice arrangement, receive images from the camera(s), associate each of the received images with one of the passes from the launcher forming part of the basketball practice arrangement, and process each of the received images using a machine vision model to determine which of said received images indicate a made shot.
