It is a system used in the first cricket and is called "Hawk Eye". It is named for the back room Hawkins guy who invented name, they say. Damn it's cool right?

My understanding is that Wimbledon has more than 10 cameras at high speed around the court (and) not by cable from the grass. The use of images from the cameras with the trajectory of the ball speed and Hawkeye can predict whether the ball rather combines went ashore. It is a repetition of what has really happened, only a statistical prediction is very likely.
