Three Dimensoinal Stereo Graphic Animation of Golf Ball in Putting Green With No Loss of Orientation Information

In this paper, we introduce the three dimensional graphic animation program for simulating the 5 DOF (degree of freedom) motion of golf ball in putting green. We revice the dynamics of rolling motion of golf ball on arbitrary surface of golf green based on the gravity and the slip mechanism suggested by our research team in previous work. We also propose a new algorithm to handle the loss of orientation information which is an essential problem happened in INS (Inertial Navigation System). We construct the real time simulation develop environment by using Open GL, MATLAB, 3ds Max, and virtual comport device driver software for implementing animation program functioning on special shutter glasses 3D LCD monitor.
