Golf Swing Video Analysis With AI Joint and Club Tracking

The patent uses a video camera to capture images of the golfer's swing and creates a digital copy of the swing motion. Image processing techniques are applied to these video frames to extract swing information, replacing the need for physical sensors and markers with a visual copy-based approach. This allows accurate swing analysis using standard video equipment rather than expensive specialized instruments.

The patent replaces mechanical sensor systems with an optical/image processing system. Instead of using physical sensors attached to the golfer's body and club, the system uses video capture and image processing to detect swing parameters. This substitution eliminates the need for complex mechanical measurement devices while maintaining analysis accuracy.

The patent implements real-time feedback by analyzing swing images during or immediately after each swing and providing corrective information to the golfer. The system processes video frames to detect swing posture and provides feedback on whether the golfer achieved the desired swing form, enabling immediate correction without requiring manual video review. This continuous feedback loop allows golfers to correct posture efficiently during practice sessions.

The system enables golfers to self-correct their swing by providing automated analysis and feedback. The image processing automatically detects swing characteristics and compares them against desired swing forms, allowing golfers to independently identify and correct posture issues without requiring external coaching or manual video analysis. This self-service capability saves time while maintaining correction effectiveness.
