Video analysis development help with tracking 40 yard dash times and ball throwing metrics

Python

Hi OpenCV Community!

I want to understand if the two use cases below can be accomplished and, if not, to identify the gaps.

Does anyone have development experience in these areas?

Running use case. A person uploads a video of someone running the 40-yard dash. We want the 10, 20, 30, and 40-yard times, along with the top speed and acceleration times in mph, calculated automatically through video analysis software.

Ball use case: A person uploads a video of someone throwing a ball. We want the ball’s top speed and rotational spin rate to be calculated automatically through video analysis software.

Many thanks,
Steve

so you want a video assistant referee system or “goal-line technology” or something involving augmented reality technology.

and all you have is… and I’m assuming here… some arbitrary person’s arbitrarily shot handheld video of some unstructured scene?

not possible.

the task is complex. you need to grasp the complexity of what you’re asking. in order to do that, you should acquire the theoretical background and research what kind of theory and engineering goes into such systems. yes, even if you just want an app or whatever, you need to understand the problem.
