Abstract:
A method and system for using a low resolution image of a golfer's swing for analysis is disclosed. Cameras obtain images of various portions of a golfer's swing. A computer calculates parameters associated with a golfer and a golf club from the images. Parameters include body angles, head position, shoulder positions, arm positions, hand positions, leg positions, foot positions, club shaft angles, and club head position. Different portions of the swing are captured using the cameras, including a static initial address, a backswing, a downswing, a forward swing, and a follow-through. A computer uses measured parameters from two or more portions of the swing to determine comparative parameters during different portions of the swing. The computer uses the parameters to generate swing analysis outputs, including swing characteristic information and/or swing profile information. A correlation table relates identified swing analysis outputs to recommendations to the golfer to improve the swing.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for generating a golf swing analysis output of a golfer's swing, comprising:\n receiving, via a network, a plurality of images from at least one camera; calculating relative position or motion data between two or more different portions of a golfer, a golf club, or a golf ball from each of a plurality of the obtained images using a computer; generating a swing analysis output from the calculated position or motion data, the swing analysis output identifying at least one of swing characteristic information and/or swing profile information associated with the golfer's swing; and providing a swing improvement recommendation based upon the generated swing analysis output.
