In spite of interest in the dynamics of the billiards family of games (for example, pool and
snooker), experiments using present-day inexpensive and easily accessible cameras have …

Topological volume skeletons represent level-set graphs of 3D scalar fields, and have
recently become crucial to visualizing the global isosurface transitions in the volume …

Billiards is a game of both strategy and physical skill. To succeed, a player must be able to
select strong shots, and then execute them accurately and consistently on the table. Several …

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for accurately positioning a robotic
pool-playing device. The system comprises a computer controlled robotic positioning device …

Computational pool is a relatively recent entrant into the group of games played by computer
agents. It features a unique combination of properties that distinguish it from oth-ers such …

The paper presents a method to simulate the physics of the game of pool. The method is
based upon a parametrization of ball motion which allows the time of occurrence of events …

The last two decades have seen a growing interest in research related to billiards. There
have been a number of projects aimed at develo** training systems, robots, and computer …

Deep Green is a vision-based, intelligent robotic system that currently shoots pool at a better-
