Disclosed are a dart game apparatus and a dart game system with a display unit according to exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. The dart game apparatus and the dart game system with the display unit include: a dart target having a plurality of score areas; a sensing unit sensing a hit location of a dart pin in the dart target; a display unit formed to surround an exterior of the dart target, provided in a body structure of the dart game apparatus, and outputting a variable screen; and a controller controlling the display unit at least partially based on the hit location of the dart pin in the dart target.

Disclosed are a dart game apparatus and a dart game system providing a lesson image according to exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. The dart game apparatus includes: a dart target having a plurality of score areas; a sensing unit sensing hitting of a dart pin with respect to the dart target; a foot pressure information obtaining unit obtaining foot pressure information which is information on pressure applied by a foot of a dart game user when the dart game user throws the dart pin; a throwing guide information generation unit generating throwing guide information for the dart game user based on the foot pressure information; a lesson image generation unit generating a lesson image based on the throwing guide information; and a display area provided in a body structure of the dart game apparatus and outputting the generated lesson image.

A disclosed hanging target may include a hanging bracket and a plurality of suspension lines coupled to the hanging bracket. The hanging target may also include a plurality of target holders. A destructible target may be disposed above and carried by a target holder allowing a portion of each suspension line to extend outward around the destructible target. When the destructible target is destroyed by a projectile that hits the destructible target, the portion of each suspension line may rebound to the generally vertical orientation.

A system for scoring darts that includes multiple cameras placed substantially parallel to the surface of a dartboard. With a field of view extending across the board, the cameras can be configured to capture images of darts projecting outwardly from the board as they are thrown, and the system can use this image data to calculate the location of each dart, and the corresponding score. Various algorithms may be used to orient the system and calibrate the system to account for irregularities in the images captured by the cameras to accurately determine the location. Proper scoring may be achieved for a variety of dartboards with different patterns of scoring regions based on game rules and corresponding board configurations maintained by the system.

A camera unit is configured to be mounted adjacent a dartboard. The camera unit comprises a primary camera and a secondary camera supported by a support frame. The primary camera captures a darts player using the dartboard and the secondary camera captures a play surface of the dartboard. The camera unit further comprises a wireless interface module arranged to wirelessly transmit image data captured by the cameras, and/or derived data, such as a determination that a dart has been thrown, a determination that a foul throw has occurred, or a score associated with a dart that has struck the dartboard.

A dartboard structure and a method for manufacturing the dartboard structure are provided. The dartboard structure includes a dartboard body unit, a dartboard frame unit, a first sensor unit and a second sensor unit. The dartboard body unit has a plurality of score regions. The dartboard frame unit has a plurality of through openings that penetrate through the dartboard frame unit, and each of the through openings corresponds to one of the score regions. The second sensor unit and the first sensor unit are in an intersecting arrangement and have a predetermined gap therebetween. The first sensor unit and the second sensor unit surround a plurality of first sensing regions, and each of the first sensing regions corresponds to one of the score regions and one of the through openings.

Disclosed is a computer program stored in a computer-readable storage medium, the computer program providing a method of generating a training dataset for dart pin location identification when being executed in one or more processors of a computing device, the method including: obtaining a dart target photographing training image in which at least one dart pin hits in one segment of a dart target, wherein a plurality of segments included in the dart target each includes a predetermined number of bits; and assigning a label corresponding to the obtained dart target photographing training image.

Disclosed is a computer program stored in a computer readable storage medium, the computer program providing a method of identifying a hit location of a dart pin when being executed in one or more control units of a dart game device, the method including: generating first history information in response to a first dart pin throw; obtaining a dart target photographing image in response to a second dart pin throw, wherein the dart target photographing image includes an image of a dart target and a plurality of dart pins hitting the dart target; and determining, by a dart pin location identification network model, hit location information of a dart pin corresponding to the second dart pin throw based on the first history information and the dart target photographing image.

Disclosed are a dart game apparatus and a dart game system including an image projector according to exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. The dart game apparatus and the dart game system including the image projector may include: a sensing unit sensing hitting of a thrown dart pin; a dart target allowing the dart pin to be received; a display area formed to surround an exterior of the dart target, provided in a body structure of the dart game apparatus, and receiving an image projected from an image projector to output a variable screen; an image projector projecting the image toward the display area; and a controller controlling operations of the dart game apparatus.

A dart catching device for catching darts that fail to adhere to a dartboard includes a tray, which is mountable to a vertical surface upon which a dartboard is positioned. The tray is mounted below the dartboard and extends substantially perpendicularly from the vertical surface. The tray can catch a dart that is thrown at the dartboard, but which fails to adhere to the dartboard. The device can prevent damage to the dart that might occur should the dart drop to a horizontal surface beneath the dartboard.
