Topendsports.com claims that the video referee used in cricket can be as accurate as down to 5mm when assessing LBW (leg before wicket) decisions.

The Hawkeye system in place for cricket games uses 6 different cameras around the stadium in order to help out the video assdistant referees. All these camera angles go to the same computer at the same time and they create a 3D representation of the ball path in order to judge whether the decision is out or not.
