I don't mind it, apart from the length of time it takes them to reach a decision. I like the one on the tennis at Wimbledon. It takes seconds to calculate whether the ball is in or not. I wasn't sure how it did it so did a bit of Googling ... How does Hawk-Eye work? Despite its name, this piece of umpiring sadly doesn’t have anything to do with actual hawks (although the All England Club does rely on Rufus the Harris hawk to deter pigeons!). Hawk-Eye is built from a network of 10 cameras around the court that capture 60 high-resolution images per second. At least five cameras cover every bounce of the ball. A centralised computer system rapidly processes the images, triangulates the position of the ball and calculates a flight path – the yellow streak you see behind the ball in the Hawk-eye graphics. Hawk-Eye collects data for every shot taken in the match, not just the close calls. This is to make sure all 10 cameras are doing their job, as well as providing plenty of talking points for analysts and pundits.
