Abstract: A system has at least one processor, a control subsystem, and an end unit with at least one image sensor. The control subsystem switches operation of the system between first and second modes. In the first mode, an image sensor captures a visible light image of a scene, and a processor analyzes the visible light image to identify a target in the scene and extract target spatial information. In the second mode, an image sensor captures a series of IR images of the scene, and a processor analyzes the IR images to identify firearm projectile strikes on the target based on the extracted spatial information and comparisons between the IR images. In certain embodiments, the same image sensor is used for visible light and IR image, and an IR filter is selectively positioned in an optical path from the scene to the image sensor according to the mode of operation.

Abstract: A system trains usage of a firearm and includes an end unit, a processing subsystem, and a control subsystem remotely located from the end unit. The end unit includes an image sensor that is positioned against a target that has a bar code. The image sensor defines a field of view of a scene that includes the target, and the bar code stores encoded information that defines a target coverage zone. The system selectively operates in a first mode and a second mode according to input from the control subsystem. In the first mode the end unit scans the bar code to extract the target coverage zone. In the second mode the image sensor captures a series of images of the target coverage zone, and the processing subsystem analyzes regions of the captured series of images to determine a strike, by a projectile of the firearm, on the target.

Abstract: At least one shooter-side image sensor captures images of a plurality of shooters and a plurality of respective firearms periodically fired by the shooters. At least one target-side sensor collects data indicative of projectile strikes on a target area associated with at least one target. A processing unit analyzes images captured by the shooter-side image sensor and detects projectile discharges in response to firing of the firearms, and uniquely identifies each of the shooters associated with the detected projectile discharges. The processing unit detections of projectile strikes, based on the data collected by the target-side sensor, and the detected projectile discharges and identifies, for each detected projectile strike on the target area, the correspondingly fired firearm associated with the uniquely identified shooter.

Abstract: A projection assembly displays a virtual driving environment, associated with a vehicle, in the interior portions of an actual vehicle. A capture and processing subsystem includes at least one image sensor and at least one processor, and is removably mounted to the interior of the actual vehicle and is operatively coupled to the projection assembly. The image sensor has a field of view encompassing at least a portion of a driver's side area of the actual vehicle. The processor translates a vehicle operating action performed by a driver of the vehicle to a virtual action in the virtual driving environment. The translation is based in part on images captured by the image sensor.
