Firearm Training System

A system for training usage of a firearm, comprising:

• an end unit positionable against a target, the end unit comprising an image sensor defining a field of view of a scene that includes the target;
• a processing subsystem operatively coupled to the image sensor;
• and
• a control subsystem operatively coupled to the processing subsystem and the end unit, and remotely located from the end unit,
• wherein the end unit is configured to extract spatial information related to the target to define a target coverage zone, and wherein the end unit is further configured to capture, in response to actuation by the control subsystem, a first and a second series of images of the target coverage zone at a first predefined image capture rate and a second predefined image capture rate, respectively, and provide the first and second captured series of images to the processing subsystem, and wherein the processing subsystem is configured to analyze regions of the first captured series of images to determine a strike, by a projectile of a first type discharged by the firearm, on the target, wherein the strike is determined by identifying a change between one of the images of the first captured series of images and at least one other one of the images of the first captured series of images, and wherein the processing subsystem is configured to analyze regions of the second captured series of images to determine a strike, by a projectile of a second type discharged by the firearm, on the target, wherein the strike is determined by identifying a change between one of the images of the second captured series of images and at least one other one of the images of the second captured series of image.

A system for training usage of a firearm against a plurality of targets deployed in an array, the plurality of targets including at least a first and a second target, the system comprising:

• an end unit comprising an image sensor defining a field of view of a scene, the end unit positionable against the plurality of targets such that the first and second targets are within the field of view;
• a processing subsystem operatively coupled to the end unit;
• and
• a control subsystem operatively coupled to the processing unit and the end unit and remotely located from the end unit,
• wherein the end unit is configured to provide to the processing subsystem, in response to actuation by the control subsystem, information descriptive of the field of view, the information including identification of the first and second targets in the field of view, and definition of a coverage zone in the field of view for each identified target, and wherein the end unit is further configured to capture, via the image sensor, a first series of images of the coverage zone of the first target and a second series of images of the coverage zone of the second target, and provide the first and second captured series of images to the processing subsystem, and wherein the processing subsystem is configured to analyze regions of the first and second captured series of images to determine strikes, by a projectile discharged by the firearm, on each of the first and second targets, wherein the strikes on the first target are determined by identifying a change between one of the images of the first captured series of images and at least one other one of the images of the first captured series of images, and wherein the strikes on the second target are determined by identifying a change between one of the images of the second captured series of images and at least one other one of the images of the second captured series of images.

A system for training usage of a firearm, comprising:

• an image projection unit for projecting at least one image according to a virtual training scenario against a background, the at least one image defining at least one target for the training scenario;
• an end unit positionable against the background and operatively coupled to the image projection unit, the end unit comprising an image sensor defining a field of view of a scene that includes the target;
• a processing subsystem operatively coupled to the image sensor;
• and
• a control subsystem operatively coupled to the processing subsystem and the end unit, and remotely located from the end unit,
• wherein the end unit is configured to extract a target coverage zone corresponding to the training scenario in response to actuation by the control subsystem, and wherein the end unit is further configured to capture, via the image sensor, a series of images of the target coverage zone at a predefined image capture rate and provide the captured series of images to the processing subsystem, and the processing subsystem is configured to analyze regions of the captured series of images to determine a strike, by a projectile of the firearm, on the target, wherein the strike is determined by identifying a change between one of the images of the captured series of images and at least one other one of the images of the captured series of images.
