The use of IR camera to detect the points of impact projectiles

Multimedia shooting training systems are increasingly being used in the training of security staff and uniformed services. The next stage of the system development is to make possible training by firing in dynamic scenarios, using combat weapons and live ammunition against visible targets moving on a screen. The use of infrared camera for detecting the position of impact of a projectile is presented in this paper. Due to the thermophysical properties of materials used in anti-ricochet covers, heat transfer takes place relatively slowly and thermal trace of impact of the projectile is visible from several seconds to several minutes. To eliminate this problem it has been proposed to use two algorithms in the detection system of Snieznik.
