Abstract
This paper reports on the development of a machine vision system for assessing targeting accuracy of ballistic, projectile-firing, weapon systems. The machine vision system developed here can monitor the target continuously, report precise quantitative targeting information, and simultaneously provide a color-coded display of impacts. The only other automated target scoring system on the market today is based on the analysis of acoustic signatures of projectiles using a heavily instrumented target. The proposed vision-based technique, in contrast, is inherently passive, requiring little or no modification of the existing set up.
