AB - In the lost golf ball market, damaged balls are often mixed into distribution, leading to quality issues. To address this, we developed a CNN-based acoustic classification system that detects damaged balls by analyzing impact sounds. A hardware device with triple-layered soundproofing enabled high-quality audio data collection. The signals were converted into Mel-Spectrograms and classified using EfficientNet-based CNN, with data augmentation enhancing generalization. Model optimization (46.9 MB→4.7 MB) enabled real-time classification in embedded environments. Field tests achieved 96.5 % accuracy, and an automated system integrating Jetson Nano and Arduino significantly improved sorting efficiency. This system enhances efficiency and product reliability in lost ball sorting, offering environmental and economic benefits.
