One device is used for generating a 3D trajectory of the ball from which the speed, the pitch angle and the rotation speed of the ball (available in a subsequent version) will be extracted. The second device is used for taking a video of the pitcher while throwing the ball. Pitching motion analysis is performed by estimating the pitcher's body pose.
