1. A computer-implemented method for comparing performance with respect to a plurality of pitched baseballs, comprising the steps of:
capturing a first plurality of frames of a scene of a pitched baseball;
segmenting an object of interest out of the captured scene by performing a thresholding operation on a pixel-by-pixel basis to determine a location of the object of interest within a first frame of the first plurality of frames and utilizing the determined location of the object of interest within the first frame to assist in determining a location of the object of interest within a second frame of the first plurality of frames;
analyzing the segmented scene to identify markers associated with the object of interest;
retrieving a second plurality of frames of a prior captured scene of a pitched baseball; and
comparing the analyzed scene with the prior captured scene to enable a comparison in performance for the pitched baseball.
