A Novel Inexpensive Camera-based Photoelectric Barrier System for Accurate Flying Sprint Time Measurement

Electronic photoelectric barriers are established devices to time subjects in experiments or athletes in sports. The systems are reliable and precise, but also expensive. We propose a novel, affordable photoelectric barrier system based on consumer grade camera hardware and show how to build such a system with common electronic components and a smartphone. In two experiments with track and field athletes, we show that our novel system has similar accuracy than a professional photoelectric barrier system, but for a fraction of the costs.:1. Introduction
