How does 'Axelcam' work?
Aren't all data extracted from the 2D image when the skater is 'in range' or is there a stereoscopic camera with Doppler radar we don't see?
Or is there the classical triangulation used by three cameras in sync and computer power after careful calibration by proof skaters?
I'd really like to see a stick figure animation of the jumps with accurate blade position on 'exit' and 'entry' of the ice surface to assess the linearity of the jump and the gain/loss of speed by cheating, UR or OR etc. And with the known mass of the skater, some calculation of the kinetic and potential energy involved.
