Hi Guy's

I am new to OpenCV. I am doing some research for a pet project using OpenCv. The idea is a person hits/throughs a tennis ball from a range of approximate 5 meters or so at a target circle painted on a flat concrete wall.

I would like to assign points for balls in the target circle.

Some advise on where to start and how to approach is needed. I am planning to use a raspberry pi 3B+ with Pi Camera or Logitech webcam for starters.

Thanks!

how to approach

sorry, but in general, we don't do that.

we can help you though, once you have an opencv related problem

Note through that a tennis ball travels easily at 30-40m/s. At 5m distance with 25-30fps acquisition rate you will have ~5 video frames with the ball moving. It will be difficult to get the moment of impact.

Did you think about a hardware based solution (pressure sensor) on the target?
