Patent attributes
A sports swing tracking system that has at least one computer processor, a camera system with a digital image sensor, the camera system operating at or greater than sixty frames per second at an exposure rate faster than one one-thousandth of a second. The sports swing tracking system also includes a distance calculating system designed to calculate the distance to an object of known size determined by a pixel array corresponding to the equivalent dimensions of the imaged object. The sports swing tracking system also includes a body frame pose estimator system designed to calculate the distance between each of thirteen or more body frame points and a motion mapping system designed to calculate changes in the three-dimensional location and attitude of at least one or more of the thirteen or more body frame points, an at least one ball point, and two or more points representing a sports instrument.
