ABSRACT:
In many sports there are many decisions which cannot be determined by human interfaces. So we need to use different types of technologies to determine the decisions perfectly .one of most prominently used technology is HAWK-EYE technology. It is used in sports like cricket, tennis, snookers and in some games. It is a technology where we can determine speed, deviation of ball from actual track etc. Hawk-Eye as the most innovative technology provider in sports broadcasting and is a development that will reinforce the group's presence and influence. It is primarily used by the majority of television networks to track the trajectory of balls in flight.
Introduction:
Hawk-Eye is a computer system used in cricket, tennis, snookers and other sports to visually track the path of the ball and display a record of its most statistically likely path as a moving image. Hawk-Eye as the most innovative technology provider in sports broadcasting and is a development that will reinforce the group's presence and influence. It is primarily used by the majority of television networks to track the trajectory of balls in flight. It was developed by engineers at Roke Manor Research Limited of UK in 2001. A patent was submitted by Dr Paul Hawkins and David Sherry.
Abilities:
Hawk-eye can track any type of bounce, spin, swing and seam movement of the ball. Give a prediction as accurate as 99.99 percent. Hawk-Eye was used for referring decisions to the third umpire in LBW.

Principle of Hawk-Eye:
Technology:
Processor follows 4 Steps
(a) Identify each frame from each camera, and groups the? corresponding pixels to the image of the ball
(b) Compute for each frame the 3D position of an image thus identified using ball image data from at least two different cameras
(c) Predict a ball flight-path from the said 3D ball position as computed in successive frames
(d) Map the predicted path on the modeled area so as to identify any interaction with one or more of the said characteristic features.
Applications:
Its applications are mainly in sports
