Abstract
Described are a method and a device for providing an image of a path of a club hitting a golf ball in a virtual golf simulation system. The device for providing a club path image includes: a camera control unit for controlling a camera sensor including a first camera acquiring image information of at least a portion of a golf mat; an image acquiring unit for acquiring an image photographed by the first camera; and a club path image generating unit for receiving an image of the first camera from the image acquiring unit and generating a club path image of a path of a golf club hitting a golf ball placed on the golf mat.
Claims14
A device for providing a club path image, the device comprising:
- a camera control unit for controlling a camera sensor including a first camera acquiring image information of at least a portion of a golf mat;
- an image acquiring unit for acquiring an image photographed by the first camera;
- and
- a club path image generating unit for receiving an image of the first camera from the image acquiring unit and generating a club path image of a path of a golf club hitting a golf ball placed on the golf mat.
A method of providing a path image of a golf club hitting a golf ball placed on a golf mat by a club path image generating device, based on image information from a camera sensor including a first camera including the golf mat in a photographing region, the method comprising:
- (a) setting a region of interest of the first camera as a first region of interest;
- (b) acquiring a pre-hit image of the golf ball by the golf club in the first region of interest from the first camera;
- (c) stitching a mat segmentation image of a segmented portion of the golf mat to the pre-hit image to synthesize an extended pre-hit image;
- (d) changing a region of interest of the first camera to a second region of interest when the hit of the golf ball is detected;
- (e) acquiring a post-hit image of the golf ball by the golf club in the second region of interest from the first camera;
- and
- (f) stitching the mat segmentation image to the post-hit image to synthesize an extended post-hit image.
