Abstract
A golf simulation system includes imaging devices capturing images of a projectile tracking region in front of a display surface from different vantages to detect a launched projectile traveling through the projectile tracking region towards the display surface. A projectile spin sensing unit captures images of a region at least partially overlapping with the projectile tracking region, and each captured image includes a projectile trail representing a travel path of the projectile. A processing stage receives data from the imaging devices and the projectile spin sensing unit and determines the three-dimensional positions, velocity, acceleration and spin of the projectile, and the three-dimensional positions, velocity, acceleration and spin are used by the processing stage to calculate a trajectory of the launched projectile into a presented golf scene.
