Automatic Golf Ball Trajectory Reconstruction and Visualization
نویسندگان
چکیده
The article presents the steps required to reconstruct a 3D trajectory of a golf ball flight, bounces and roll in short game. Two video cameras were used to capture the last parts of the trajectories including the bounces and roll. Each video sequence is processed and the ball is detected and tracked until is stops. Detected positions from both video sequences are then matched and 3D trajectory is obtained and presented as an X3D model.

Recovering ball motion from a single motion-blurred image
Motion blur often affects the ball image in photographs and video frames in many sports such as tennis, table tennis, squash and golf. In this work we operate on a single calibrated image depicting a moving ball over a known background, and show that motion blurred ball images, usually unwelcome in computer vision, bear more information than a sharp image. We provide techniques for extracting s...
متن کاملBall trajectory reconstruction from a single long-exposure perspective image
This paper deals with the reconstruction of the 3D trajectory of a moving ball from a single calibrated photograph, shot by a still perspective camera, with an exposure time long enough to encompass the ball’s movement. Our work differs from previous approaches since we do not use image sequences, stereopsis, nor assumptions on a parabolic trajectory (therefore, we are also capable of reconstru...
متن کاملThe flight of a golf ball
A skilled golfer hitting a drive can accelerate his club head from zero to 120 miles per hour in the quarter of a second before making contact with the ball. As a result, the ball leaves the tee with a typical speed of 175 miles per hour and at an angle of 11◦ to the ground. From that moment the golfer no longer exercises control. The trajectory of the ball is determined by the laws of physics....
متن کاملThe physics of golf
An overview of the application of physics to the game of golf is given. The golf swing is modelled as a double pendulum. This model and its variations have been used extensively by researchers in determining the effect that various swing parameters have on clubhead speed. These results as well as examples of three-link models are discussed. Kinematic and kinetic measurements taken on the record...
متن کاملA fractional calculus approach for the evaluation of the golf lip-out
Golf is a sport in which competing players need to introduce the ball into the hole using the fewest number of strikes. However, this goal can sometimes be compromised when the ball suffers from lip-out phenomenon, that is, when the ball surrounds the hole’s edge without dropping in. Although some techniques may be presented in the literature to assess golfers’ performance (e.g., evaluation of ...
