Abstract:
A system for visually tracking the trajectory of an in-flight golf ball
through an x-y-z space above a driving range includes a plurality of
cameras for respectively creating a video stream of the x-y-z space. Each
video stream is presented on a dedicated camera focal plane with
information on respective azimuth angles .theta. and elevation angles
.PHI. from the particular camera to the in-flight golf ball. A central
computer is connected with the camera focal plane of each camera to
identify a start point for the golf ball, to track its trajectory in the
x-y-z space, and to filter out background clutter. A visual display is
provided to show the in-flight golf ball from its start point to a target
point in real time.Claims:
