Apparatus and method for providing green information by acquiring direct stereoscopic image {GREEN INFORMATION PROVIDING DEVICE BY DIRECT 3-DIMENSIONAL IMAGE OBTAIN AND METHOD}

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for providing green information by acquiring a direct stereoscopic image, and more particularly, to photographing a green as a two-dimensional image so that a golf ball and a hole cup appear during golf rounding, and then converting the green ball into a three-dimensional image. The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for providing green information by acquiring a direct stereoscopic image for displaying a distance, an inclination, and a left and right inclination between the display screen.

The golf market is largely divided into the US and Europe, and in Asia, as the economy of China grows and the national income increases, the golf population is increasing. Experts say.

The first reason is that golf is difficult. For example, amateur golfers consider the process of putting a golf ball into a hole cup on a putting green most difficult.

The putting green is an important area that determines more than half of the number of strokes in golf as the area where the ball enters the hole cup with an average of two strokes by rolling the ball to the lawn on the mat where the hole cup is formed.

Several techniques are proposed as an alternative to making golf easier.

For example, in Patent Registration No. 10-0589133 (Registration Date June 05, 2006), a golf course information providing method and a device using a GPS function mobile phone is presented, the user himself using a wireless communication terminal golf course In order to receive the distance information from the current position to the desired wooden bridge location, the accuracy of the shot can be improved.

This prior patent is to re-process the location information GPS data of the golf course and the precautions in each hole of the golf course as a data for the mobile phone to build a database on the website, the mobile phone carried by the customer to the golf course to Automatically entering a guidance message to a customer terminal, which is a customer's mobile phone, in connection with a mobile carrier, and when the customer requests location information for each course using a mobile phone, wirelessly connects to the mobile communication website. In the golf course information providing method using a GPS function mobile phone comprising the step of providing a content built in, and generating a revenue by charging a certain amount of money to the mobile carrier every time the content is provided,

After the course map data is downloaded through the customer terminal, when the hole number is selected, GPS signals are received through GPS satellites to calculate the coordinates of the current location, and display the distance from the current location to the green of the corresponding hole on the screen. Steps;

Search the menu selected after the above step, and if the selected menu is Lay Up, convert the distance to the layup obstacle using the current position coordinates and the course map data and display the result on the screen. Displaying;

Converting the distance from the current position to the obstacle in front of the tee using the current position coordinates and the course map data and displaying the result on the screen when the selected menu is a tee selection;

If the selected menu is a current location mark (MARK), after moving to another location, converting the distance from the location to the mark and displaying the same on the screen;

If the selected menu is Green, the green shape is displayed on the screen graphically, and if the pin position movement is selected in the state, the distance to the moved pin is converted and displayed on the screen. It is characterized by that.

However, in the real field, track data is lost due to the loss of the position of GPS satellite in the mobile phone or sometimes it does not receive the GPS signal, and it is 1 ~ 2m in accuracy to calculate the coordinate of the current position using the GPS signal. If the golf ball is located on the putting green or the putting green, because of the error of the current position coordinates and golf course information using the GPS satellites did not help the golfer.

In addition, since only the distance from the green to the moved pin is converted and displayed on the screen, there is a problem that the amateur golfer does not really help when putting on the green because the tilt or the left and right slopes are not known.

Registered Patent No. 10-0589133 (Registration date June 05, 2006)

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the green and the two-dimensional image of the green so that the golf ball and the hole cup appears during golf rounding and then converted to a three-dimensional image to represent the distance between the golf ball and the hole cup and the slope and left and right inclination As a result, an object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and method for providing green information by acquiring direct stereoscopic images that can substantially help amateur golfers when they attack the hole cup on the green and help popularize golf and activate the golf market.

In order to achieve the above object, the apparatus for providing green information by acquiring a direct stereoscopic image according to the present invention includes two images corresponding to a left eye image and a right eye image of an image of a green so that a golf ball and a hole cup photographed using a camera are represented.
