Hot Spot is an infra-red imaging system used in sports to
determine whether the ball has actually struck the player, its
equipments or the ground. Hot Spot was actually a technology
developed in the military for tank and jet fighter tracking. It was
widely used in war prone areas for the tracking of various
military equipments.
The technology was adapted for television by BBG
Sports, the Australian company responsible for the Snickometer,
in conjunction with Sports. The technology was first used by the
Australian Nine Network during the first Test match of the
2006-07 Ashes at The Gabba, on 23 November2006.
The ICC has announced that Hot Spot images will be available
for use as part of its ongoing technology trial during the second
and third Tests (March 2009) in South Africa. The system will be
available to the third umpire in the event of a player referral. The
Hot Spot technology was in fact founded by French scientist
Nicholas Bion, before being worked upon by a many different
companies in Paris and been bought and adopted by the Nine
Network Australia. The technological drive for smaller devices
using less power with greater functionality has created new
potential applications in the sensor and data acquisition sectors.
The image shows us any heat been produced in the field of play,
giving us a 85% accurate conclusion on the decision. To Increase
the Capacity of Hotspot Technique upto 99.5% We decease in
this Paper. The main aim of this technology is to successfully
make a decision on whether the batsman is dismissed or granted
not out , whether the ball hit the bat, pad or glove and if it hit
something at all.
