Project Description

This project tracks billiard balls on a table using a camera. We then take this information and create an image of a billiards table and balls using p5 libraries. Finally we display this image onto the billiards table using a projector highlighting the balls and the ball's movements on a table. This project uses 8 threads in order for it to track 7 billiard balls at the same time and create an image for it. p5 libraries were used to create images and OpenCV was used for ball tracking

Equipment:

• Camera
• Projector
• Mini Billiards set (includes table, balls, cue sticks, etc.)
