Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shooting device with a shooting field with shooting targets
  • an optical firearm the shots of which are visible on the firing field
  • a camera which scans the firing field
  • a storage device connected to the camera and a display field for stored firing field recording.
  • a shot device of this type intended for shot simulation is described for example in DE-OS 31 12 443.
  • the firearm contains a pulse light transmitter, from which light spots projected onto the firing field light up for at least 1/50 s.
  • the firing field is a transparent target, which is scanned by a camera, optionally provided with an upstream filter, and can be provided with a filter layer to eliminate the ambient light.
  • the scanned image content and the hit position are stored in an electronic storage unit, which content can be deleted by actuating a switch or remotely.
  • a screen is provided to display the memory content.
  • a shooting device for shooting simulation in which a transparent screen is provided for displaying the shooting field.
  • a firearm contains a light transmitter that simulates a projectile target using a light spot.
  • a camera observes the back of the transparent screen and detects these points of light.
  • a memory records the firing field and the light points with assigned coordinates. The memory content can be displayed on a screen.
  • a firing device described in EP-PS ⁇ 146 466 comprises a screen provided for firing field display, a firearm emitting infrared radiation, a camera, a screen for displaying the firing field with hits and an evaluation unit which, for example, generates a hit display associated with several firearms.
  • All of these shooting devices work on the principle that the shooting field is projected onto a screen or a wall. These shot field images are each scanned by a camera, evaluated and further processed. The display of the shot field with hit display takes place on a screen or the like.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a shooting device which is simple and inexpensive to set up.
  • a shooting device thus comprises a firing field with firing targets, an optical firearm whose shots are visible on the firing field, a camera which scans the firing field, a memory device connected to the camera and a display field for stored firing field recordings, a screen being provided as the firing field is, the optical firearm emits a laser beam, evaluation electronics are connected to the camera and a screen is provided as the display field and output of the evaluation electronics.
  • the shooting device according to the invention is extremely simple.
  • the screen provided as a firing field display can be connected directly to the evaluation unit and saves projection systems which are expensive in terms of space and costs.
  • the firearm is thus aimed and fired directly at the screen, the screen tube serving as a reflection element.
  • the shooting device according to the invention is a simulation and game system, which is made up of few parts and responds extremely quickly.
  • the shooting device In the shooting device according to the invention, electronically generated firing fields are thus displayed on a screen and also shot on the screen.
  • the camera provided for the shot field detection detects the shot field and the shots or corresponding screen reflections, which are transmitted to the evaluation electronics with the associated coordinates. In this way, the shots can be recorded, reproduced and stored simultaneously. So there is no electrical and / or mechanical connection between "weapon” and "target", which leads to qualified "dry shooting practice”.
  • a shooting field in the form of target rings or moving targets such as animals etc. is displayed on the screen provided for the firing field display. The screen is scanned by the camera.
  • the laser rifle intended as a firearm is aimed at the screen and the corresponding target objects are sighted.
  • a point of light or a reflection is generated on the screen.
  • the light spot is detected by the camera and a corresponding signal is transmitted to the evaluation unit.
  • This signal is evaluated in the evaluation unit when it is assigned to the corresponding firing field coordinates.
  • the result of the evaluation is displayed in the desired form.
  • the evaluation electronics judge whether or not a detected shot light point is to be evaluated as a hit. This hit may also be assigned a value according to the rules provided, e.g. what kind of ring was hit etc. a hit evaluation e.g. in tabular form, as graphics, etc.
  • the evaluation data can be displayed simultaneously or at a later time.
  • the evaluation unit can be set accordingly. In this way, the hit rate, a hit comparison with the other people etc. can be determined and displayed for the active person.
  • Certain rules of participation can be specified, according to which a certain result-oriented sequence of shooting of the persons with a winner to be determined is provided.
  • a module system can also be provided. If another game with different rules of participation or just another field of fire with different targets is to be used, in this case only the corresponding module needs to be exchanged.
  • Modules can also be provided as diskettes or ROMs, RAMs or the like as carriers of exchangeable memory or program data.
  • a customized or desired display of the shot evaluation is advantageously made possible by the fact that an input unit is provided which is connected to the evaluation electronics and has operating buttons or switches for controlling the evaluation electronics and / or the display on the screen. By pressing an operating button, e.g. a change in the display, a display of the hit rate achieved or the display of another shot field.
  • an additional display of the evaluation electronics is provided on the screen provided for the shot field at the same time as the shot field display.
  • the hit rate can be in the field of view e.g. are represented in the form of numbers or percentages, so that a performance assessment or determination of the game status is essentially possible simultaneously.
  • the shooting person does not need to target a more arid display field. A distraction by head movements, glare etc. as well as strenuous refocusing by the eye are avoided in this way.
  • a second screen is provided for the display of the shooting field with evaluation results such as hits.
  • Hits ie screen points hit by the laser beam
  • this screen for example in an enlarged manner, while the shot field display remains unchanged.
  • hits with a wavelength and a duration can be shown on the display screen that are in the area visible to the eye.
  • the light spots generated by the laser gun have an infrared wavelength and have a duration in the ⁇ s range, ie they are not visible to the naked eye.
  • the marking and representation of "shot" firing field points can be done by means of a color provided for this purpose, for example these points can be represented in blue.
  • repeatedly hit screen points with different colors e.g. shown in red. The different colors can then be used to assess where the hits are on the field of fire and which of these hits are repetition hits *.
  • a single screen can be provided as the shot field and display field.
  • This shooting device is characterized by a particularly small number of parts and requires extremely little space.
  • the only screen serves as a shooting field and at the same time as a display field.
  • the display field can be shown on the screen after a corresponding input. If e.g. the display field shows a shot field with hits displayed, the irritation of the person already aiming at the screen for the subsequent shot is reduced to a minimum.
  • the camera is preferably provided with an infrared filter. This makes it possible to hide disturbing ambient light so that the hits are recorded very reliably.
  • a particularly trouble-free operation of the shooting device according to the invention results if the screen provided for the firing field, the firearm and the camera are arranged in a darkened or dark room and the screen provided as a display field is arranged outside of this room.
  • the screen provided for the firing field, the firearm and the camera are arranged in a darkened or dark room and the screen provided as a display field is arranged outside of this room.
  • a separate display screen is expedient and enables the shooting to be observed outside the darkened area even by several people, so that the darkened area, which is more expensive due to space requirements and special equipment, can be kept small. For certain applications, it may be cheaper to set up the display screen in the darkened room, in other cases it may be dispensed with entirely.
  • a preferred embodiment of the camera used for the shooting device according to the invention is a CCD camera.
  • the field of view is in pixels, i.e. divided into rows or columns. In this way, changes or hits on the firing field can be determined particularly easily.
  • the brightness values can already be transmitted discretely to the evaluation unit.
