Abstract

An object of the present invention is to enable accurate classification of golf swings. A data processing apparatus computes a state of motion of a golf ball on the basis of still images captured by an imaging unit. The data processing apparatus divides a golf swing identified by swing data acquired during a golf swing by a player into golf swing paths of a back swing, a down swing and a follow through, assigns a path in two-dimensional coordinates having a vertical axis and a horizontal axis to any two of these three golf swing paths, calculates an angle formed between the golf swing path and the horizontal axis, for each of the two golf swing paths, and classifies the golf swing on the basis of an angular difference between the respective angles thus calculated. The present invention can be applied to, for example, an analysis system for analyzing a golf swing.
