FIELD: computer technology.
SUBSTANCE: method for determining the time of passage of an object through a timing line running across a sports track, including: receiving video frames, determining depth information, detecting one or more objects in the video frames using an object detection algorithm, determining at least one detected object in at least a portion of the video frames wherein at least one detected object passes through a timing line extending across the track, wherein the timing line is defined by a virtual plane located across the track at a predetermined distance from the camera system, and the determination of the object's passage is based on the coordinates of the virtual plane and depth information, and determining a transit time based on one or more times of one or more video frames containing at least one detected object passing the timing line.
EFFECT: increasing the accuracy of determining the time of passage of an object.
