Abstract

Abstract A display control apparatus includes: a captured image obtaining unit (21) that obtains captured images of a clubhead (41a) of a golf club (41); a specified position detecting unit (22) that detects positional data of a toe and a heel of the clubhead which are included in the captured images, by inputting the captured images obtained by the captured image obtaining unit (21) into a learned model obtained by machine learning of relationships between multiple captured images of club heads (41a) of golf clubs (41) and positional data of toes and heels of the clubheads (41a) which are included in the multiple captured images; and a control unit (23) that displays information based on the positional data of the toe and the heel of the clubhead (41a) detected by the specified position detecting unit (22).

Claims

1. A display control apparatus comprising:a captured image obtaining unit that obtains a plurality of captured images of a clubhead of a golf club during a swing of the golf club in temporal series from above;a specified position detecting unit that detects the position of each of a toe and a heel of the clubhead which are included in the plurality of captured images; anda control unit that that generates line segments that represent a clubface of the clubhead based on the positions of the toe and the heel of the clubhead which are detected by the specified position detecting unit, and sequentially displays the generated line segments.

2. The display control apparatus as defined in Claim 1, wherein:the specified position detecting unit detects positional data of each of the toe and the heel of the clubhead which are included in the multiple captured images, by inputting the multiple captured images obtained by the captured image obtaining unit into a learned model obtained by machine learning of relationships between multiple arbitrary images of clubheads of golf clubs captured from above and positional data of toes and heels of the clubheads which are included in the multiple captured images.3.The display control apparatus as defined in Claim 2, wherein:the learned model is that which is obtained by further machine learning the relationships between multiple arbitrary captured images and positional data of necks of golf clubs which are included in each of the captured images:the specified position detecting unit further detects positional data of a neck of a golf club; andthe control unit displays information based on the positional data of the neck of the golf2024203001  08 May 2024club as points within the multiple captured images.4.The display control apparatus as defined in Claim 3, wherein:the learned model is that which is obtained by further machine learning the relationships between multiple arbitrary captured images and positional data of necks of golf clubs and an edge of the multiple captured images where the shafts of golf clubs are positioned, the specified position detecting unit may further detect positional data of a neck of a golf club and an edge of an image where the shaft is positioned, and the control unit may display information based on the positional data of the neck of the golf club and the edge of the image where the shaft is positioned as points within the multiple captured images.5.The display control apparatus as defined in Claim 4, wherein:the control unit generates and displays a line segment that represents a shaft of a golf club, based on positional data of a neck of the golf club and an edge where the shaft is positioned.6.The display control apparatus as defined in Claim 1, wherein:the control unit generates and displays information regarding a club path of the clubhead, based on positional data of the toe and the heel of the clubhead.7.The display control apparatus as defined in Claim 2, wherein:the learned model is that which is obtained by machine learning relationships between multiple captured images having different levels of luminosity and positional data of toes and heels which are included in the multiple captured images.

8. A display control method comprising:2024203001  08 May 2024obtaining a plurality of captured images of a clubhead of a golf club during a swing of the golf club in temporal series from above;detecting the position of each of a toe and a heel of the clubhead which are included in the plurality of captured images;generating line segments that represent a clubface of the clubhead based on the detected positions of the toe and the heel of the clubhead; andsequentially displaying the generated line segments.

9. A computer readable medium having stored therein a display control program that causes a computer to execute the steps of:obtaining a plurality of captured images of a clubhead of a golf club during a swing of the golf club in temporal series from above;detecting the position of each of a toe and a heel of the clubhead which are included in the plurality of captured images;generating line segments that represent a clubface of the clubhead based on the detected positions of the toe and the heel of the clubhead; andsequentially displaying the generated line segments.AMPLUS Co., Ltd.Patent Attorneys for the Applicant / Nominated PersonSPRUSON & FERGUSON
