Systems and methods for displaying wind characteristics and effects within a broadcast

1. A method for displaying wind characteristics and effects in a broadcast, comprising:

utilizing a camera to record a sports broadcast;

determining wind characteristics relative to the sports broadcast from analysis of the sports broadcast itself; and

rendering graphics in a said sports broadcast displaying said wind in perspective over a venue, including displaying simulated three dimensional wind paths over an area of sports activity in said venue and over surrounding structures.

2. A method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein wind is sampled via at least one sampling point in a venue and where analysis of the sports broadcast includes analysis of at least one image thereof.

3. A method in accordance with claim 2 , wherein wind is sampled at multiple sampling points and wherein wind characteristics are displayed in said broadcast.

4. A method in accordance with claim 2 , wherein said wind characteristics are simulated relative to the broadcast and wherein analysis of wind characteristics includes analysis of more than one image of the broadcast.

5. A method in accordance with claim 2 , wherein wind is analyzed relative to broadcasted environmental conditions.

6. A method in accordance with claim 2 , wherein wind is analyzed relative to broadcasted ground or atmospheric effects of wind.

7. A method in accordance with claim 6 , wherein wind effects on objects in the broadcast are displayed.

8. A method in accordance with claim 7 , wherein said effects include one or more of effects on a ball, a vehicle and a player, with overlaying a graphic on said broadcast indicative of wind effects.

9. A method in accordance with claim 8 , further comprising measuring thermographics, followed by overlaying a graphic on said broadcast indicative of thermographics.

10. A system for displaying wind characteristics and effects in a broadcast, comprising:

a camera configured to record a sports broadcast;

one or more processors having a graphics rendering processing component that is configured to analyze the sports broadcast itself in order to display wind characteristics relative to the sports broadcast; and

said one or more processors having an output processing component that is configured to output said rendered graphics in a broadcast displaying said wind in perspective over a venue, including displaying simulated three dimensional wind paths over an area of sports activity in said venue and over surrounding structures.

11. A system in accordance with claim 10 , wherein wind is sampled via at least one sampling component in a venue.

12. A system in accordance with claim 11 , wherein wind is sampled at multiple sampling points via plural sampling components and wherein wind characteristics are displayed in said broadcast.

13. A system in accordance with claim 12 , wherein said wind characteristics are simulated relative to the broadcast.

14. A system in accordance with claim 10 , wherein wind characteristics are determined from a computer analyzation component configured to analyze said broadcast.

15. A system in accordance with claim 14 , wherein wind is analyzed relative to environmental conditions.

16. A system in accordance with claim 15 , wherein wind is analyzed relative to ground or atmospheric effects of wind.

17. A system in accordance with claim 16 , wherein wind effects on objects in the broadcast are displayed.

18. A system in accordance with claim 17 , wherein said effects include one or more of effects on a ball, a vehicle and a player, with overlaying a graphic on said broadcast indicative of wind effects.

19. A system in accordance with claim 18 , further comprising a thermographics measuring component, followed by overlaying a graphic on said broadcast indicative of thermographics.
