Pool Assistant

Pool Assistant

a digital guide to help you line up your shots

How it works

Calibration

The user selects the four corner pockets so that the assistant knows where to look. This also helps when the camera isn't perfectly vertical.

Detection

The assistant shears the video input uses object detection to find where the balls are.

Simulation

The program runs a simulation and calculates where the balls will come to rest. This end state is displayed to the user.
