GOLFZON Co., Ltd.

The present invention is to provide a virtual golf simulation apparatus and a keypad device used therefor that allow a user who stands on a swing stage for a golf shot to easily operate with a part of the user's body or a golf club held by the user to implement a function in a virtual golf simulation process, and improve the mechanical button pressing method of the conventional button manipulation device so that the functions of the virtual golf simulation apparatus can be operated simply and conveniently, and the reliability of the operation can be improved by transmitting the sense of operation according to the operation of the keypad to the user.

The present invention relates to a golf swing platform linked to a virtual golf course, and may independently drive a swing-stage part and a hitting part of the platform, and the inclination information may be calculated from terrain information of an area corresponding to the swing-stage part and the hitting part of the platform based on a position where a virtual ball is placed on the virtual golf course, and the swing-stage part and the hitting part may be controlled to be driven, respectively.

The present invention is to provide an image analysis method for sensing moving ball, and sensing device using same significantly improving the speed of image processing by performing image analysis by applying an analysis object area set immediately before each acquired image to the current image according to a method that setting an analysis object area, which is a partial area, without analyzing the entire image in analyzing an image for sensing a moving ball in sports with balls, detecting the ball within the set analysis object area, calculating the physical quantity of the ball movement, and setting another analysis object area to include the position where the ball will appear on the image to be analyzed based on the position of the ball detected on the image being analyzed.

A spin calculation method for a golf ball moving by being hit according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: acquiring a first image and a second image, which are consecutive images for the golf ball with a plurality of markers to be hit and moved, respectively; processing to obtain information on a reference marker and a plurality of peripheral markers around the reference marker for a plurality of markers on a first ball image corresponding to a golf ball in the first image; specifying a combination of markers corresponding to the reference marker and the peripheral markers on the first ball image among markers in a second ball image corresponding to a golf ball in a second image; and processing to calculate a spin axis and a spin amount of the moving golf ball using each center point of a pair of markers corresponding to each other on the first ball image and the second ball image.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a hybrid golf system using a screen booth where virtual golf play is performed using a virtual golf simulation device and an actual field where actual golf play such as an approach shot or putting is performed, wherein a golf course having a plurality of different holes is implemented by rotating or moving the screen booth where the virtual golf play is performed, thereby providing a realistic experience as if the user is playing golf in different holes while moving between each of the plurality of holes.

Proposed are a virtual golf simulation device and a virtual golf simulation method. According to an embodiment, there is provided a virtual golf simulation device including: a first trajectory processing unit configured to simulate a first movement trajectory of a ball on a virtual golf course based on shot data on a golf shot of a user; and a second trajectory processing unit configured to simulate a second movement trajectory based on some of a plurality of factors for the simulation of the first trajectory.

Embodiments relate to a method for manufacturing a screen fabric to be installed in a golf simulator, the method including: a step of manufacturing a fabric body having a predetermined area by processing a biodegradable resin (poly(lactic acid) (PLA)) into yarn and weaving the yarn; and a coating step of applying a coating solution to at least one of both surfaces of the fabric body to form a coating layer, wherein at least one gap exposing the fabric body is formed in the coating layer.

The present invention is intended to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, and provides a hybrid golf system and a method by which a controller for controlling same automatically calculates a score, wherein the hybrid golf system may automatically calculate a score based on the entire golf play by automatically calculating a score on the basis of the play on a virtual golf course using a screen golf system, and then automatically calculating, even when playing on an actual field, a score by using a camera sensing system installed around the field.

Proposed herein are an apparatus for providing terrain information on a green and a method for providing terrain information on a green. According to one embodiment, there is proposed an apparatus for providing terrain information on a green, the apparatus including: a simulation processor configured to display a virtual golf course image regarding a green, a hole cup on the green, and a first ball; and a guide processor configured to display a guide path between the hole cup and the first ball to provide terrain information on the green.

The present invention is related to a device and method for sensing motion of sphere moving on plane using single-camera, and device and method for sensing motion of golf ball moving on putting mat that a low-cost single-camera is used for sensing a sports sphere moving on a plane as a target object, and the sports sphere can be detected without a separate dedicated lighting and a space in which the sphere moves can be recognized, so it can be used regardless of location with a simple configuration, away from the limitation that the installation position of the camera must be fixed.
