The smallest enclosing ball of balls [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the nineteenth conference on Computational geometry - SCG '03, 2003
We develop algorithms for computing the exact smallest enclosing ball of a set of n balls in d-dimensional space. Unlike previous methods, we explicitly address small cases (n≤d+2), derive the necessary primitive operations and show that they can efficiently be realized with rational arithmetic. An implementation (along with a fast and robust floating-

Playware Ball – Development of an Intelligent Ball

open access: yesJournal of Robotics, Networking and Artificial Life, 2020
For developing a novel kind of entertaining football and football training, we developed a playware ball prototype. The ball contains a microprocessor with WiFi connection and uses barometric pressure sensors and accelerometer data to track the ball movement in fast-paced football training games. The ball communicates with a tablet, on which games were
