- 1. A method for tracking a moving object comprising the steps of:
calibrating data from an imaging device to data from a radar device, where a field of view of the imaging device at least partially overlaps with a field of view of the radar device in a common field of view; and tracking the moving object as it moves through the common field of view simultaneously using both the imaging device and the radar device where the moving object is one of a sports ball and a sports ball striking implement.
- 22. A device for tracking a moving object comprising:
an imaging device having an imaging device field of view; and a radar device having a radar field of view at least partially overlapping with the imaging field of view in a common field of view; and a control device coordinating data from the imaging device and data from the radar device in space and time to track the moving object as it moves through the common field of view, wherein the moving object is one of a sports ball and a sports ball striking implement.
