LAUNCH MONITOR

摘要

A launch monitor having a camera can be used to measure a trajectory parameter of a ball. In one example, a method can include changing a mode of the camera from a low-speed mode to a high-speed mode. The camera can include an image sensor array having a plurality of pixels. The camera can generate a video frame using more pixels in the low-speed mode than in the high-speed mode. A first video frame can be received, the video frame comprising values captured during the high-speed mode from a first subset of the plurality of pixels. A second video frame can be received, the video frame comprising values captured during the high-speed mode from a second subset of the plurality of pixels. The trajectory parameter of the ball can be calculated using the first video frame and the second video frame.

1. A method for determining a trajectory parameter of a golf ball, comprising:
changing a mode of an image sensor to a high-speed mode, wherein the image sensor in high-speed mode has a frame rate that is faster than when the image sensor is not in high-speed mode; capturing a first video frame of the golf ball using a first subset of pixels of the image sensor when in the high-speed mode; capturing a second video frame of the golf ball using a second subset of pixels of the image sensor when in the high-speed mode; and calculating the trajectory parameter of the golf ball using the first video frame and the second video frame.
