Abstract:
A method and system for determining whether a spherical element impacts with a component of a playing field, or arranged on or proximate thereto. The method includes acquiring images of a surveillance area of a field that covers at least part of said component, such as a delimiting perimeter line of a game area or a target, performing an approximate detection of an impact of a spherical element relative to that component or proximate thereto, with an object detection and recognition system that can discern when the detected object is indeed a spherical element, automatically selecting one of the images acquired for the same point in time and that includes the area where said impact has occurred, and analysing the selected image to check if the spherical element has impacted or not with the component.

Claim (Index 20):
The method according to  claim 19 , comprising receiving information on whether, after the service, the tennis ball has touched a net or not of the playing field, and based on this information, after judging whether the tennis ball bounces in or out of the service area, the method comprises issuing a signal indicating that:\n the serve must be repeated, when the ball has bounced inside the service area but after touching the net, or the serve must not be repeated, when the ball has bounced outside the service area after touching the net.
