Abstract
A seam position deciding apparatus (1) comprises a light source (3), a camera (5) and a computer (7). The computer (7) has operating means (for example, a CPU) and storage means (for example, an RAM) provided therein. Rays are irradiated from the light source (3) toward a golf ball (9). The golf ball (9) is rotated. The camera (5) photographs the golf ball (9). Data on an image thus photographed have a white pixel and a black pixel. If there is the white pixel in a predetermined region of the image, it is decided that a seam is not horizontal. On the other hand, if there is no white pixel in the same region, it is decided that the seam is horizontal. In the seam position deciding apparatus (1), it is possible to decide, with high precision, whether or not the seam of the golf ball (9) is placed in a predetermined position.
