Anti-sniper targeting and detection system
An anti-sniper targeting system where a spherical omni-directional depth stereoscopic multi-lens camera, a radar (e.g., LIDAR), and microphone identify, detect, and determine target positions and bearings, detect target weapon flash, detect glint, track bullet trajectory, coordinate, track, share, and assign targets. Target bearings and ranges are determined by sound and heat signature detection from an infrared camera, from glint, and radar to rapidly position a fire control arm with a camera onto assigned targets rapidly from calculations on target positions and optimal trajectory. It may account for firing corrections due to target range and wind effects using wind sensors, terrain data, pressure, temperature, and earth curvature accommodating for bullet trajectory over large ranges. It can be an offensive sniper system whereby a target is locked in spite of movements, such as from a vehicle using stabilizing gyros and accelerometers, image processing, or sensor data to adjust for movements.
1. A system for detecting a target comprising:
at least one computing device comprising at least one processor to:
receive target data from an omni-directional stereoscopic device;
identifying at least one movement of a potential target;
determine a location of the potential target based on the target data, the location and range determined relative to the orientation of the computing device, thereby confirming the potential target as an actual target; and
generate a target vector for the actual target based on the location, the target vector indicating a firing direction for firing a projectile at the actual target.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the omni-directional stereoscopic device is a spherical camera and wherein the target data comprises audio identifying the at least one movement.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the omni-directional stereoscopic device is a spherical camera and wherein the target data comprises at least two infrared images identifying the at least one movement.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the location of the target is determine by triangulating the at least to infrared images of the target in real-time based on the orientation of the computing device and the potential target.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configures to:
receive at least one of wind speed data, wind direction data, temperature data, or pressure data;
determine a wind speed and direction of the actual target based on the at least one of the wind speed data, the wind direction data, the temperature data, or the pressure data; and
adjust the target vector according to the wind speed and direction.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to display the target data in a three-dimensional stereographic space defining a point-of-view for a user from a perspective of the omni-directional stereographic device, the three-dimensional stereographic space corresponding to a real-world environment.
