What is eye tracking technology?

Umpires should overrule Virtual Eye errors - Ian Taylor, the founder of the ball-tracking system?

  • The failure by technicians and umpires to admit the shortcomings immediately will further embarrass the ICC, which continues to champion the system against resistance, particularly from India, and which has arranged for Cambridge University to run independent tests into its accuracy. Source : http://www.espncricinfo.com/new-zealand-v-south-africa-2012/content/story/557712.html Ross Taylor(NZ) : "When DRS was proposed, the first thing we said was not to use the predictive path" Jacques Kallis :" 99% of cricketers" will probably agree that they don't believe ball-tracking is as accurate as the makers say it stung Taylor particularly hard. http://www.espncricinfo.com/new-zealand-v-south-africa-2012/content/story/556811.html Bracewell : "I thought it was pretty dead. I was going for the inswinger and trying to hit him on the pads and I think everyone thought it was out," Bracewell said. "I think they made a mistake [with the pitch map]. I don't see how the ball swinging back in can pitch outside leg and hit middle stump." ———————————— Do you think "The level of accuracy and reliability of the two ball-tracking companies ... In terms of accuracy" should be tested again ? 1 . virtual depictions of where the ball has pitched and where the ball has impacted the batsman accord with the reality 2. whether their predictions as to where the ball would have hit the stumps are correct. There is no progression done to overcome the mistakes happening with the usage of 'Ball tracking technology'. Do you think it's time for remove 'Ball tracking' from DRS?(But not DRS). @Math, all those testing should be done before they actually implementing in cricket. In software terms, it's a beta version. Good reference by you. I am talking about next step in the cycle you have provided. There is not further step taken to improve the existing technology since this was implemented in cricket. If 99% players won't happy to make predictive judgements, which will always be prone to errors and cannot be proven accurate in a real match situation, How come you can suggest to continue ?

  • Answer:

    I thought that the ICC had already agreed not to use ball tracking for LBW until the accuracy had been tested further. Seems to be a prudent position, I'm naturally skeptical of manufacturer's claims, given they're trying to sell an expensive system and are somewhat less than impartial in the matter. The use of microphones, infra red cameras and video replays however are much more robust technology, and can only serve to improve the decision making process. These latter technologies should be used in the interest of fairness .

These type of things keep improving with the passage of time. Being relatively new technology, there will be some flaws obviously. But that does not mean it should be totally scrapped because its not 100 percent accurate. Remember how awful personal computers appeared during late 1970's and 1980's. They were pure junk. So should they have scrapped them back then itself? If they did so, we would not even have internet and microsoft windows too. They continued improving slowly as time kept passing by. So they should let it continue and it will automatically keep being improved. Ball tracking technology within 10 to 12 years from now will be undisputed. But if they are totally going to ban it or not let it function without finger pointing, then it can't move forward either For technology products there is a component called 'research and development' (R&D). R&D is the process of improving the product and making it more and more advanced. The R&D work is not visible to the public, but companies spend millions of dollars each year on it http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/63/Cycle_of_Research_and_Development.gif

Ball tracking technology at times seem to deceive us. If there are flaws in the system and the experts know that, then it should not be implemented before testing. Frankly speaking, I was also surprised at times how the ball did not seem to hit the stumps when it was pretty straight as Bracewell said but as I have said several times before I am not that tech savvy and I thought may be I was wrong.
