Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 16:
17. A golf ball tracking system, comprising:
a camera configured to capture a plurality of image frames of a golf surface;
a memory configured to store the plurality of image frames;
a processor configured to:
identify at least a first pixel at which a golf ball is located in a first image frame of the plurality of image frames;
identify at least a second pixel at which the golf ball is located in a second image frame of the plurality of image frames;
determine that the first pixel represents a location where the golf ball impacts the golf surface based at least in part on a difference in location between the first pixel in the first image frame and the second pixel in the second image frame;
identify at least a third pixel corresponding to at least a first calibration marker in the first image frame; and

wherein the processor is configured to generate an inverse trajectory of the golf ball based at least in part on the first pixel at which the golf ball is located in the first image frame and the second pixel at which the golf ball is located in the second image frame.
