Provided are an apparatus and method for sensing a moving ball, which extract a feature portion such as a trademark, a logo, etc. indicated on a ball from consecutive images of a moving ball, acquired by an image acquisition unit embodied by a predetermined camera device, and calculate a spin axis and spin amount of rotation the moving ball based on the feature portion and thus spin of the ball is simply, rapidly, and accurately calculated with low computational load, thereby achieving rapid and stable calculation of the ball in a relatively low performance system. The sensing apparatus includes an image acquisition unit for acquiring consecutive images, an image processing unit for extracting a feature portion from the acquired image, and a spin calculation unit for calculating spin using the extracted feature portion. |
