i have an app which can track the ball perfectly at all time

I want to know if a ball is inside a goal , The problem I am facing is how to decide it when you have only a 2d vision of the goal and there is a situation like this enter image description here mimage description

Even as a human its difficult for me to decide whether this ball is inside a goal or not, are there any algorithms or Image processing tricks that ight help?

Even as a human its difficult for me to decide whether this ball is inside a goal or not - in general, if you as a human don't know the answer, it's pretty difficult to make a computer decide for you...

This video shows how Hawk-Eye goal line technology works. In my opinion, you need at least two cameras in order to triangulate the 3D position of the ball.

I'm not sure that's not possible. You can imagine something like a parametric method . Put some ball just above border line take a picture. It will give you limit between in and out. That's just an idea. of course don't move your camera after...

That's just an idea
