Camera-based shooting simulator using color thresholding techniques

This paper presents the camera-based shooting simulator, where the shooter shots the target using a laser pointer attached on the weapon. A camera is attached on the weapon to capture the image of laser shot and circular target. The red color thresholding techniques are employed for detecting the laser spot on the target. From the experiments, it is obtained that the proposed system could detect both circular target and laser spot under different background environments. Further the proposed algorithm is able to compute the shooting score properly.
