Abstract: A shot detection system can include a shooting target that is made of paper and printed to include fiducials, borders and a bar code together with a scoring region and markings. A method of camera adjustment control can find and lock onto a target. A target acquisition procedure can include extracting a region of interest (image of the shooting target), calibrating the region of interest and then target locking. The real-time target locking procedure can include correcting an image of the region of interest to account for tilt, rotation and skew. A methodology of shot detection can include acquiring probable and confirming shot candidates and then verifying the probably shot candidate with the confirming shot candidates to substantially eliminate falsely identified shots candidates, thereby significantly improving performance and experience.
