The previous post explains the techniques used to photograph golf balls within a ball mark created by the golf ball launcher. The original ball lie device designed to measure ball lie on various grasses at fairway heights was not conducive for capturing images of the golf ball in the ball mark. The base holding the camera is raised slightly, so images appear to cut off a portion of the ball. Our original thought was to raise the back end of the platform to create an angle that would capture the entire ball without losing the depth of ball in the ground. As the back end of the device was raised more ball was cut from the picture.
To solve this issue, photographs were taken with the camera set on the ground with care to have the camera 10-1/4 inches from the back of the ball lie device. The approriate focal length is imperative based on previous preliminary studies.
A new device will be created that will allow the camera to be fixed in a position flatter on the putting surface to ensure the entire ball can be photographed.
More to come as studies continue.
