Abstract
This paper describes a novel method to measure the loci and attitudes of a high-speed moving object in 3-D space. Here we apply the method to measure those of the golf driver head when swinging. The sensor employed in the measurement method is a line-CCD camera with high speed scanning. Because the camera captures only 1-line information in 2-D image, the scanning speed is very high in principle. In the measurement, the line-CCD camera captures the positions of markers marked on the driver head in the local coordinate and the simple signal processing yields the position every scan interval and estimates the loci and attitudes in the global coordinate.
The method was developed for golf head motion measurement, but it can applied to variety of high-speed moving objects other than the driver head.
