Automatic Detection & Manual Detection

LaneTrax uses AI-powered automatic detection as the default method for identifying the correct lane. This process quickly and accurately detects the lane so that all subsequent shot data is captured without manual intervention.

Manual lane selection should only be used if, for some reason, the automatic detection fails to correctly identify your lane. In such cases, you can manually select the lane to ensure accurate tracking. This option is provided as a reliable fallback.

Automatic Lane Detection

Click “Detect Lane” to automatically detect the lane! Make sure the entire lane is visible and that you’re zoomed in enough (the lane should be at least 25% of the screen), and also make sure that there’s a full rack of pins up!

Manual Lane Detection

Drag each of the four corners to align with the four corners of the lane! The top of the lane should be aligned with the bottom of the headpin. Make sure you’re zoomed in enough (the lane should be at least 25% of the screen)

​
DOs and DON’Ts for optimal lane detection:

DOs:

  • Make sure the camera is fully zoomed into the lane (the bottom of the lane should be right above the “Detect Lane” button, as thats where the camera feed ends, and the top of the pins should be near the top of the camera feed).

  • Make sure the camera is as high as it can be, and as far back as it can be (while still being able to zoom in all the way)

DONT’s:

  • DON’T place the camera directly behind the lane (as the bowler may obstruct the view of the ball)

  • DON’T have the camera zoomed too far out.

  • DON’T have the tripod too far left or right of your lane. (i.e. don’t place the tripod in another lane)
