1. An imaging device comprising:
a housing configured to be coupled to a basketball backboard;
a lens disposed in the housing;
a control unit disposed in the housing, the control unit comprising one or more processors; and
a memory coupled to the one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors are configured to perform operations stored in the memory comprising:
performing line detection from captured image data;
providing, to a trained machine-learning model, adjusted image data based on one or more algorithms applied to the captured image data, wherein the one or more algorithms are based on whether or not lines are detected from the captured image data; and
generating, from output of the trained machine-learning model, data indicating characteristics of a basketball action associated with one or more users based on lines in the adjusted image data corresponding to a basketball court.
