Keep the Ball Fully Visible for Accurate Detection

The system needs a clear view of the ball to detect and track it correctly.

If the ball is partially hidden, detection becomes unreliable.

Why Full Visibility Matters

• The camera tracks the full shape of the ball
• Partial visibility makes it harder to detect the position
• Small obstructions can confuse the system

This can lead to:

• Missed detections
• False shots
• Inconsistent results

Common Issues

• Ball sitting in long grass
• Grass covering part of the ball
• Dirt or debris blocking the view
• Only half the ball visible on screen

Even a small obstruction can cause problems.

Outdoor Setup Tips

• Place the ball on short, clean grass
• Avoid thick or uneven lies
• Make sure the full ball is visible from the camera view

Why False Shots Happen

• The system watches for changes in the ball’s shape and position
• If part of the ball is already hidden, it only takes a small movement to trigger a shot
• The club passing nearby can block the remaining visible area

This can register as a shot without a proper strike.

What You Should Do

• Check the screen before each shot
• Make sure the entire ball is clearly visible
• Reposition the ball if anything is blocking it
