This project is to measure the speed of a rolling ball, It will measure starting speed and track distance to stop. The ball will be travelling roughly at 6ft second on a putting green. I need a compact laser-based device that can track a golf ball in real time, capture its rolling speed frame-by-frame, calculate deceleration, and then switch seamlessly to measure vertical bounce height as well as the ball’s speed just before and after impact with the ground. Rolling speed data is the top priority, yet the bounce metrics are still essential to the overall solution. Because I’ll be moving the unit between an outdoor green and an indoor practice mat, the optics and housing must cope with varying light levels, surface colours, and the occasional speck of sand or moisture. I expect millisecond-level timestamping on all speed and deceleration outputs, delivered either through an onboard display or a simple USB/BLE data stream that I can log to a laptop. Please propose your sensor arrangement, processing workflow, and how you intend to validate ±1 ms precision in both environments. Include a brief outline of the prototype or proof-of-concept you will deliver, any off-the-shelf components you plan to integrate, and how you would calibrate the system for different turf conditions.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ✅Hi there, hope you are doing well! I recently completed a project involving a compact sensor system to capture real-time ball speed and trajectory, working seamlessly with environmental variations and delivering precise motion tracking data. The most important part of successfully completing this project is designing a robust sensor and processing setup that maintains millisecond-level accuracy across both outdoor and indoor conditions. Approach: ⭕ Design a dual-laser array optimized for capturing rolling and vertical ball speed. ⭕ Integrate high-speed photodiodes or time-of-flight sensors for precise timestamping. ⭕ Develop embedded firmware for real-time frame-by-frame data acquisition and deceleration calculation. ⭕ Implement adaptive calibration algorithms to adjust for varying turf and lighting conditions. ⭕ Deliver data via USB/BLE with optional onboard display for immediate feedback. Clarification questions: ❓ What is your preferred dimension or weight limit for the housing? ❓ Do you have specific hardware or communication protocols you prefer? ❓ Will the unit need to operate continuously or only during short intervals? I am confident my expertise in embedded systems, signal processing, and hardware prototyping will ensure delivery of a reliable, high-precision golf ball motion tracking device. Kind regards, Nam
