Abstract

Systems and methods for analyzing a motion of a bowler. The system includes a plurality of cameras positioned around a capture volume. The capture volume includes a reference location. A plurality of markers is configured to be attached to the bowler and reflect light from the cameras. The cameras are configured to detect a first set of positions of the markers attached to the bowler. The markers are located within the capture volume. The cameras are also configured to transmit a first plurality of signals representative of the markers at the first set of positions. The cameras are configured to detect a second set of positions of the markers attached to the bowler. The markers are located within the capture volume. The cameras are also configured to transmit a second plurality of signals representative of the markers at the second set of positions. A computer system is configured to receive the first plurality of signals and the second plurality of signals related to the markers attached to the bowler, calculate a plurality of characteristics of the motion of the markers with respect to the reference location, and analyze the characteristics of the motion of the bowler to generate a quantitative description of the motion of the bowler. The quantitative description of the motion of the bowler is then correlated with a first result on a bowling lane.
