Abstract
Systems and methods for collecting sports data include measuring, at one or more sensor modules mounted, affixed, or embedded on at least one sports participant, data corresponding to identification, movement, position, or condition of the at least one sports participant; measuring, at one or more sensor modules mounted, affixed, or embedded in a sports object, data corresponding to identification, movement, position, or condition of the sports object; and broadcasting, from one or more telemetry modules mounted, affixed, or embedded on the sports object or on the at least one sports participant, signals carrying the data corresponding to identification, movement, position, or condition of the sports object or signals carrying the data corresponding to identification, movement, position, or condition of the at least one sports participant. In one embodiment, predictive action cameras are controlled to aim at an anticipated or predicted position of a sports participant or sports object.
