Abstract: A ballistic detection system includes a projectile detector; electromagnetic radiation detection equipment; and a ballistics analysis computer configured to obtain image data captured by first and second cameras in accordance with timing specified by the projectile detector, determine points in three-dimensional space, which correspond to image artifacts of a projectile, using intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of the first and second cameras, define a trajectory of the projectile within a target volume using the points in three-dimensional space, and optionally find a point of intersection of the trajectory of the projectile with an object associated with the target volume.

Abstract: A ballistic detection system includes a first camera; a second camera; a solar block device associated with at least one camera of the first and second cameras, wherein the solar block device is configured and arranged to block a solar disc in a field of view of the at least one camera; and a ballistics analysis computer configured to obtain image data captured by the first and second cameras, determine at least two points in three-dimensional space, which correspond to image artifacts of a projectile, using intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of the first and second cameras, define a trajectory of the projectile within a target volume using the at least two points in three-dimensional space, and find a point of intersection of the trajectory of the projectile with an object associated with the target volume.
