Tariq Mahmood of the National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences in Karachi, Pakistan has created a system called A-Eye to automate run-out decisions in the game of cricket. A-Eye combines a low-cost video camera sitting at ground level with open-source software called AForge.NET that scans a video feed for moving objects.
The system is due to be presented at the International Conference on Information Science and Applications on Jeju Island, South Korea, this week.
