AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing golf ball analysis technologies using infrared sensors and cameras suffer from inefficiencies and high costs due to sensitivity to external noise, false detections, and the need for continuous high-speed filming, which increases data volume and resource consumption.
Method used
A ball-hitting analysis device combining left and right infrared sensors with cameras to detect and capture ball launch parameters, using overlapping detection and imaging areas to determine ball presence and disappearance, and trigger continuous photography only at impact, reducing unnecessary filming.
Benefits of technology
Enables high-precision analysis of golf ball flight parameters from launch to flight with reduced resource consumption and cost, improving accuracy and efficiency.

Abstract
In the ball-hitting analysis apparatus and method of the present invention, the determination control unit 103 uses left and right cameras to determine whether the ball is set in either a pre-defined left trigger area or a pre-defined right trigger area within the left detection area. The appearance determination control unit 104 uses an infrared sensor of the camera corresponding to the trigger area where the ball is set to determine whether an object appears in the detection area containing the trigger area. The disappearance determination control unit 105 uses an infrared sensor corresponding to the detection area to determine whether the ball disappears from the detection area. The reappearance determination control unit 106 uses an infrared sensor corresponding to a hit detection area adjacent to the detection area to determine whether the ball appears in the hit detection area. The signal transmission control unit 107 sends a trigger signal.
