I sort of posted this idea on Sarosh’s long-range vid topic, but it probably belongs here: there are tons of examples of automated object tracking algorithms. The simplest use a unique color like fluorescent orange, pink, or green. It would be really nice to set up an automatic shot tracker/scorer. That would make the data collection as simple as filming the sling session and adding some basic info about the sling, ammo, range, and weather.
Do you have any freeware examples? like something that could work with ImageJ or similar software? I was looking for one and didn't find anything that seemed to work well. Lots of object tracking plugins, but none that seemed to do the trick (at least for trying to track a tennis ball from overhead, while in a sling).
