Introducing FLYBALL AI AUTO-TRACKING™

Today we’re sharing a major step forward for flyball teams and captains: FLYBALL AI AUTO-TRACKING™ is now in MotionXY. Our new computer vision engine is built to give you millisecond-accurate timing for line-to-line and passes, so you can focus on training instead of manual frame-by-frame scrubbing.

Why we built it

Getting reliable L2L and pass times from video has always meant pausing, scrubbing, and marking frames by hand. We wanted to change that. Our team has developed a proprietary tracking engine on real flyball footage so the app can detect dogs, identify passes, and compute times automatically—at 30fps and 60fps—with accuracy we’re targeting within ~0.01ms.

What the engine does

The new tracking engine runs entirely on your device. It locates each dog through the gate, flags pass events, and outputs:

• Line-to-line times — Consistent, repeatable L2L measurements so you can compare runs and dogs.
• Pass timing — When and where passes happen, so you can tune spacing and handoffs.
• Two modes — RACE for near-instant visual feedback on passes during a run, and TIME for the full suite of L2L and pass times when you need the numbers.

Millisecond-accurate timing

We’re aiming for timing accuracy within ~0.01ms. That comes from frame-level detection, stable calibration to your camera’s frame rate, and processing that keeps everything in sync. For best results we recommend 60fps footage; the engine supports a range of frame rates so you can use what you already film with.

Whether you’re at training or at a competition, you can capture a run, open the analysis, and get L2L and pass data without manually marking frames. Our goal is to make that the default way you use MotionXY for flyball.
