And finally trims the frames that are not part of the detected motion.
In this case, the clip was trimmed to a little over one second using the tool. This can be done in batches to process multiple videos and then concatenate them together for other processing purposes (8/n)

are like 4 seconds extra, if we only want the pitcher motion part. In our pipeline, we first need to detect where the pitcher is; this can be achieved using BaseballCV's phc_detector model (Pitcher, Hitter, Catcher detector) (4/n):

There are multiple paths to working this out but at the core, you want to: find the pitcher, track its motion from start to end (ball release), trim clip accordingly.
Let's use this pitch from BBB, as an example. It's a typical 6-seconds short clip from Savant but there (3/n)

That's what our CommandAnalyzer class, part of the Baseball Tools in BaseballCV aims to achieve, after these proof of concepts.

but the timing varies greatly; that's an issue. Also, some barely show intent location and then "hide" the glove, so these two things are opposing in how to handle them and mess up with each other, for example. There are a lot of things to take care of but the point is (4/)

Trying to catch, pun intended, the Target position of the glove, just by using the full sequence's glove position tracking, is not trivial as there are many implicit variables working at the same time.
A lot of catchers put the glove down after showing the intended location (3/)

After Dylan Drummey and I got a fully working catcher's glove tracking tool, we wanted to find useful applications for it and this is one that popped up immediately: Can "intend/actual" tracking be done by means of using only that glove data?
Well, it looks like it does. (2/)

How complicated is it to calculate any sort of deviation between where a pitcher "Targeted" to throw a pitch and where it "Actually" landed?
It can be very complicated, especially if you don't use sophisticated systems involving advanced tracking devices.
Or maybe not? (1/)
