AUTOMATIC DARTBOARD SCORING SYSTEM |
摘要 |
A method is disclosed for automatically scoring a game of darts. The method involves obtaining an image of a dartboard (2) using three cameras (10), detecting a visual disturbance in the image, and identifying a validly thrown dart if the visual disturbance includes a moving phase with a maximum temporal duration and successive images of the dartboard which exhibit differences. The visual disturbance should also include a stationary phase when the dart has been embedded in the dartboard (2). The method also includes calculating a score for the validly thrown dart based on its stationary position relative to the dartboard. A lighting system for a dartboard is also disclosed where a LED strip light (14) is provided around a circumference of the dartboard and three spotlights (8) are provided above the dartboard. |

1. A method for automatically scoring a game of darts, comprising the steps of:
obtaining an image of a dartboard; detecting a visual disturbance in the image; identifying a validly thrown dart if the visual disturbance includes a moving phase with predetermined characteristics and a stationary phase; and calculating a score for the validly thrown dart based on its stationary position relative to the dartboard. |
