Abstract

A system has at least one processor, a control subsystem, and an end unit with at least one image sensor. The control subsystem switches operation of the system between first and second modes. In the first mode, an image sensor captures a visible light image of a scene, and a processor analyzes the visible light image to identify a target in the scene and extract target spatial information. In the second mode, an image sensor captures a series of IR images of the scene, and a processor analyzes the IR images to identify firearm projectile strikes on the target based on the extracted spatial information and comparisons between the IR images. In certain embodiments, the same image sensor is used for visible light and IR image, and an IR filter is selectively positioned in an optical path from the scene to the image sensor according to the mode of operation.
