Systems, apparatuses, and methods for determining when an athlete is in possession of a ball by analyzing image data are provided. A camera is worn by an athlete and is turned on when the athlete is in proximity of a ball. The camera is used to generate an image of a ball. The size of the ball is determined and compared to a threshold. The athlete is considered to be in possession of the ball when the size of the image exceeds the threshold.

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the apparatus to: process second image data received from a second device;detect presence of the object within the first image data and the second image data;determine a second size of the object in the second image data; anddetermine that at least one of the first size and the second size meets or exceeds the threshold. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the apparatus to: receive first data from a first transducer; andcompare the first data to a template, wherein the template identifies a particular resonance frequency. 8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the first transducer is included in an article of footwear. 9. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the at least one processor and the at least one memory are remote from the first transducer. 10. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the first transducer, the at least one processor, and the at least one memory are configured to be worn by the first user. 11. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the apparatus to: receive second data from a second transducer associated with a second user;compare the first data and the second data to a template, wherein the template identifies a particular resonance frequency; anddetermining which of the first user and the second user is in possession of the object based on the comparison. 12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the apparatus to: identify a second time interval during which the second data corresponds to the template; anddetermine that the second user is in possession of an object during the second time interval. 13. A method comprising: processing, by at least one processor, image data;detecting, by the at least one processor, presence of an object within the image data;determining a first size of the object;comparing, by the at least one processor, the first size to a threshold;determining that a first user is in possession of the object if the first size meets or exceeds the threshold, anddetermining that the first user is not in possession of the object if the first size is less than the threshold. 14. The method of claim 13, further comprising: communicating a proximity signal for determining whether the object is within range for controlling whether power is supplied to a camera providing the image data; anddetecting a return signal within a predetermined amount of time of communicating the proximity signal and providing power to the camera in response to the detecting. 15. The method of claim 13, further comprising: processing second image data received from a second device associated with a second user;detecting presence of the object within the first image data and the second image data;determining a second size of the object in the second image data; anddetermining that at least one of the first size and the second size meets or exceeds the threshold. 16. The method of claim 13, further comprising: receiving first data from a first transducer; andcomparing the first data to a template, wherein the template identifies a particular resonance frequency, and wherein the determining that the first user is in possession of the object is further based on the comparison identifying the particular resonance frequency in the first data. 17.
