Best way to detect ball speed
SteMMo 2026-01-31 18:33:48 154 Views1 Replies Hi all,
I'm designing an electronic board (based on iMX ARM processor) to detect and show the speed of a baseball ball in competitions or bullpen sessions.
I'm wondering which module is suitable to achieve the request, considering that the speed range should be 50-100 mph, the distance between plate and mound is 18m and that in front of the sensor there will also probably be one or two people (with lower/no speed, of course).
Available ports are USB, SPI, UART.
Thanks a lot,
regards

One approach is to use ESP32-CAM. You can integrate ESP32-CAM with OpenCV for speed estimation.
