Putting Game

Object tracking and object detection is applied to track golf puts in real time and display stats/games. Works best with the Perfect Practice putting mat but settings can be adjusted to suit any mat. Here is a short video of the game in action: https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/665346551/ae70225a24

It is worth noting that this game is still under development, with features needing to be added/refined.

The game is started by running main.py. This calls mat_detect to identify general shape of the mat and 2 holes. Once these are defined we start tracking moving objects; the desired size/area of detected objects can be adjusted within the code. The tracker method takes the detected objects and as the name suggests applies object tracking, allowing us to store out the path of an object. If the object is moving towards the hole along the mat we register this object as a shot. If this shot enters either of the holes we record the shot as a big hole or small hole, if neither of these are true we register it as a miss.

The basic code and method was identified thanks to Pysource: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3b8lVF93jU&ab_channel=Pysource
