ABSTRACT:
A system and method for enhancing display of a sporting event. A background video image frame is recorded that represents a background video image of the playing field within the large field of view. The path of a ball in a playing field of the sporting event is tracked while the ball is moving. In response, successive overlay video image frames are generated that represent successive overlay video images of the path of the ball within the large field of view but without the playing field in the background. The successive overlay video image frames are combined with the background video image frame so as to generate successive overlaid video image frames. The overlaid video image frames represent successive overlaid video images of the path of the ball in the playing field within a large field of view and comprise the successive overlay video images overlaid on the background video image.
