First, the rectilinear field separations of the dartboard are described mathematically by means of line slopes and are than stored. These slopes serve as a basis for later score calculation. In addition, thrown darts have to be detected and the pixel at which the dart cuts the dartboard has to be determined. When this information is known, a comparison is made using the line slopes, allowing the field number of the hit to be detected. The decision for single, double or triple hit is made by evaluating the defined colors on the dartboard. All these functions are then packaged in a Matlab GUI.}, language = {en} }
