My Kicks

The program is an entertainment tool. It can be used to measure the speed of the ball or the movement of a person during a soccer game using the video camera of a smartphone.

Kicks

The unique utility My Kicks for mobile devices on the Android platform allows you to measure the force of a kick on a soccer ball. For its proper operation, you need to give the application access rights to the video camera of the mobile gadget and fix it at a distance at a certain angle to the soccer goal and the player. It is desirable to use a special tripod for this purpose. After the player with the ball appears in the grip of the video camera, the program will automatically detect them and measure the speed of the ball immediately after the kick.

Functionality

The main advantage of the My Kicks program is that it can be used not only for soccer, but also for other ball games. The user can organize competitions with friends for the strongest kick, record records and publish them on the World Wide Web. The names of users with record results are shown in the online leaderboard.

How the program works

The My Kicks utility is based on geometric algorithms that approximate the ball's motion in depth based on the reduction of its image size. Based on these algorithms, a three-dimensional model of the ball's motion is compiled, and then its velocity on the outstroke is calculated and shown on the display as a result.
