A video image acquisition apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus has one or multiple digital cameras taking images of a flying golf ball created by at least two flashes or strobes of light on continuous video mode at a predetermined frame rate. Each image frame is then subtracted from the background and compared to determine the existence of the ball image in flight thus eliminating a dependency upon the camera shutter speed which must be synchronized with the flashes in prior art design. Furthermore, another video image acquisition apparatus is also disclosed that consists of at least two video cameras taking images of flying golf balls created by at least two flashes or strobes of light at predetermined time intervals. The apparatus then applies triangulate calculation of the two camera images to determine the exact physical locations of the flying golf balls in space at a given time of flight. |
