Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 12:
13. A method for tracking a movement of an object, comprising:
positioning a tracking device aimed so that a field of view of the tracking device covers at least a portion of a surface over which the object is to be rolled;
determining, using a processor, based on data received from the tracking device, velocity of the object as the object rolls over the surface;
determining, using the processor, an acceleration of the object as the object rolls over the surface;
determining, using the processor, a gravity component of the acceleration corresponding to an inclination of the surface relative to horizontal in a direction of travel of the object; and
calculating, using the processor, a corrected acceleration corresponding to a rate of deceleration of the object at various points along a path of travel of the object as the object rolls over the surface, after removing the gravity component of the acceleration.
