    I can now draw trajectories of pool balls in a video clip!

    Nice thread resurrection! I missed this one. This is my jam to a T. Lens distortion can make balls appear as ovals and fall out of the bounds of a radius filter of the hough transform applied to circles. For a fixed camera, finding the diamonds in the image can be used to make a transform to...

    I feel like this youtube channel belongs to one of you... Silver Cue

    He has several parked in the corner. He plays with the door open so he has room to cue, but if he needs to shoot next to the door, out come the shorter cues!!

    Made my own break tip from scratch and also did my first tip replacement with it
