A method, including scanning a golf club to obtain scanning information; inputting the scanning information into a processing system; using at least one camera positioned behind and in-line to a golf swing direction and at least one lighting unit to obtain a series of images of a golf club during the golf swing; converting the series of images into parameterized motion representations; using at least one radar to obtain a radar signal; inputting the parameterized motion representations and the radar signal into the processing system; receiving golf club parameters and golf swing parameters as an output of the processing system; and generating a visual model of the golf club and the golf swing in a virtual space using the golf club parameters and the golf swing parameters.

The present embodiments provide systems and methods for aggregating measurements captured by different technologies during a golf swing. By capturing measurements using different technologies, more accurate measurements may be provided to a user by selecting from the measurements, offsetting measurements based on the technologies used, and aligning measurements between devices. Further, by aggregating measurements received from different devices, additional features and functionality may be provided to the user that is absent from any one device used alone. Additionally, by storing the aggregated measurements, users, club fitters and instructors may access and leverage larger databases of measurements to better understand the user's golf swing and to provide better recommendations and instruction to the user.

An exercise machine using motion sensor to track exercise, comprising: an exercise equipment, including a mainframe, the mainframe is fixed and won't be moved by user's movement, an operating mechanism, the operating mechanism is arranged on the mainframe and it will follow the movement of the user; wherein the operating mechanism having a motion sensor, inside the motion sensor having a multiple-axis tracking sensor module and a first microprocessor for detecting the height displacement of the operating mechanism and transmitting the height displacement signal to an electronic control device, then processing by a second microprocessor arranged inside the electronic control device to know whether the motion track of the user reach the preset position during exercise to ensure the effect of exercising.

A method of predicting the likelihood of a post T-off golf swing or consecutive swings resulting in a ball being sunk in a hole; the method utilising communication equipped cameras or communication equipped laser rangefinders at known locations to determine accurate ball lie information. Transmission of this location information in real time to a processing facility linked to a database of historical play information incorporating at least ball position information and golf course in order to calculate odds of success of the upcoming swing and/or subsequent swings.

An Internet of Thing (IoT) device includes a body with a processor, a camera and a wireless transceiver coupled to the processor.

There is provided an information processing device, an information processing method, and a computer program capable of more reliably recognizing positions of a plurality of detection targets. The information processing device includes a control unit for recognizing positions of a first detection target and a second detection target that are present on the same surface. The control unit recognizes the position of the first detection target based on sensing data obtained by a first sensor for sensing the first detection target from a first direction, and recognizes the position of the second detection target based on sensing data obtained by a second sensor for sensing the second detection target from a direction opposite to the first direction across the same surface.

A control device operates a drone with an onboard camera. The control device obtains a current performance metric to be computed for an activity performed by an individual, determines, based on a positioning rule associated with the current performance metric, a selected relative position, SRP, between the individual and the onboard camera, identifies a reference plane of the individual, operates the drone to move the onboard camera from an initial relative position to attain the SRP in relation to the reference plane; operates the onboard camera, when in the SRP, to capture image(s) of the individual, and provides the image(s) for computation of the current performance metric for the activity performed by the individual. The SRP may be defined, by the positioning rule, to ensure that the orientation of the individual in the image(s) is relevant or optimal for the current performance metric.

A bat speed measuring device is including a housing, one or more light emitting assemblies producing light at first and second sensing zones relative to the housing, first and second light receiving assemblies for receiving respective light reflections of the light when a moving object, such as a bat, passes through the first and second sensing zones, and a processor configured to calculate a speed of the object moving between the first and second sensing zones.
