https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawk-Eye

The system was originally implemented in 2000 for television purposes in cricket.

Hawk-Eye has been used for the Challenge System since 2006 in tennis and Decision Review System in cricket since 2009. The system is also used to determine whether the ball has crossed the goal line in football as a means of goal-line technology, implemented in the 2013–14 Premier League season and now present at many domestic leagues and international competitions.
