Shooting range target system

摘要

A shooting range target system comprises one or more target modules, a server, a range master's display and a shooter's display. Target modules utilize a digital camera and a processor to automatically detect shot locations and communicate them to the server. Target modules may optionally deploy and retract targets and otherwise move targets based on commands received from the server. Shooter's scores are calculated and stored on the server, and displayed to the shooters on shooters' displays and optionally to a range safety officer on a range master's display.

1. A shooting range target system comprising a target module adapted to receive a target;
said target having a first layer of a first color and a second layer of a second color, said first color being different from said second color; and said target module comprising
a digital camera substantially out of the line of fire adapted to capture images of said target,a movement sensor in operable connection with said target,a processor connected to said movement sensor and to said camera, anda network interface connected to said processor;wherein
substantially upon a bullet creating a hole through said target a portion of said second layer becomes visible to said camera, said processor determines the hole location by comparing a before image generated by said camera and an after image generated by said camera, correcting for movement of said target using information from said movement sensor, and detecting appearance of said second color, and said processor transmits the hole location over a network through said network interface.
