On that ryu pitch it showed it was outside
Then it shows the over the top view, and it CLEARLY goes over the plate (and is cutting back to the plate)
man I thought I was the only one who saw that.
great job by Ryu.
How hard would it be to have laser sensors that looked top down over the plate and can actually track exactly where the ball goes?
Strikes and balls seems like it should be REALLY easy for a robot to take care of with the right sensors...
well, it doesn't have to be laser. Im sure the home plate can be wired with various means to detect motion and record. typically the computerized strike zone is determined by having cameras installed from the outfield, with at least two for stereo vision, and the computer that is reading, can be adjusted by each player's height of their knees to their chest, and so on. the problem I see with laser being shot downward to the home plate, is that I don't see where in a baseball park you can install the laser directly above the home plate. if you combine a system with the current stereo camera visuals with a home plate sensory machine that can detect rebounded waves, like an echo location, then you can be sure what you saw like in the ESPN's Kzone reading can be confirmed by a machinery that can read the exact perimeters of the home plate.
ehhhhh f it.
