ABSTRACT:
A system for video detection and enhancement of a sport object during a sport contest. The system includes the sport object configured to phosphoresce at a selected non-visible frequency; a video collection and separation apparatus configured to detect visible light from a scene that includes the sport object and to detect phosphorescence radiation emitted by the sport object at the selected non-visible frequency, configured to separate the detected visible light from the detected phosphorescence radiation, and configured to create a visible light signal from the detected visible light and to create a phosphorescent signal from the detected phosphorescence radiation; an enhancement module configured to receive and to enhance the phosphorescent signal, and a merge module configured to receive and to recombine a resulting enhanced-phosphorescent signal and the visible light signal into a recombined signal.
