Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-142092

  However, with this type of conventional shooting training apparatus, the shooter can check the number of hits against the target after a series of shooting training, but cannot check whether there is a hit for each shooting. On the other hand, when confirming whether or not there is a hit on the target, it is common to visually observe the target using binoculars or the like for each shot. However, even if such a confirmation method can confirm the presence / absence of a hit, it is not possible to verify where the aiming position was at that time if it did not hit.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to the above circumstances, and the purpose of the present invention is to make it possible to confirm the aiming position regardless of whether the target is hit or not, thereby making it possible to grasp the shooting skill more accurately. It is to provide a shooting training system.

  In order to achieve the above object, one aspect of the present invention includes an aiming sensor that detects the aiming direction of a gun, a trigger sensor that detects a trigger operation of the gun, and a shooting target range including at least the target and its surrounding area. A camera for imaging, a display unit capable of displaying an image, and a control unit connected to the aiming sensor, the trigger sensor, the camera, and the display unit. In this control unit, when the trigger operation of the gun is detected by the trigger sensor, the trigger operation of the gun is detected based on the aiming direction of the gun detected by the aiming sensor. Information representing the aiming position is generated, and the generated information representing the aiming position and the image of the shooting target range captured by the camera are combined and displayed on the display unit.

Therefore, information indicating the aiming position of the gun when the gun trigger is operated is combined with an image obtained by imaging the target range including the target and the surrounding area and displayed on the display unit. For this reason, the shooter or the supporter can accurately check where the aiming position was at that time regardless of whether or not the target is hit.
That is, according to one aspect of the present invention, it is possible to provide a shooting training system that can confirm the aiming position regardless of whether or not there is a hit with respect to the target, thereby making it possible to grasp the shooting skill more accurately. .

  The aiming locus information generating unit 35 generates display data representing the locus of the aiming position based on the aiming detection data transmitted from the transmission unit 12 of the shooting apparatus FD at a constant period. The display data representing the trajectory of the aiming position is generated by, for example, converting the aiming direction represented by the aiming detection data into a coordinate value on the shooting imaging range by using a calculation or a memory table, and the converted plurality of coordinates. This is done by connecting the values by interpolation processing.

  When receiving the trigger detection data transmitted from the transmission unit 12 of the shooting device FD, the trigger pressing information generation unit 36 determines whether or not there is a hit based on the aiming position at this time, and the determination result Display data representing hit or miss is generated based on the above. The display data representing the hit or miss is composed of a hit mark and a miss mark to be displayed at the aiming position, and balloon information to be displayed in association with these marks. The balloon information includes the shooting time and text data representing “hit” or “miss”. The trigger pressing information generation unit 36 acquires information representing the upright state of the target plate 21 transmitted from the target devices TG1 and TG2 via the main control unit 30, and information representing the upright state of the target plate 21. The target state display data for displaying the time when the target plate 21 is raised and the time when the target plate 21 is collapsed due to the hit of the bullet are displayed based on the received time.

Then, this display image data is transmitted to the display device DS and displayed on the display 41.

  Of the above-described units, the main control unit 30, the aiming locus information generation unit 35, the trigger press information generation unit 36, the camera control unit 37, and the display control unit 39 have their respective functions and applications as central processing units ( This is realized by causing a CPU (Central Processing Unit) to execute.

Next, the operation of the shooting training system configured as described above will be described.
Prior to the start of the shooting training, the control device CS transmits a training end instruction signal to the target devices TG1 to TG3, so that all the target plates 21 of the target devices TG1 to TG3 are initialized to a collapsed state.

  When shooting training is started in this state, a training start instruction signal is transmitted from the control device CS to each of the target devices TG1 to TG3. When the training start instruction signal is received, the control unit 24 of the target devices TG1 to TG3 outputs a tilt control signal to the tilt drive unit 22 according to a preset schedule, and the target device 21 is in a state where the target plate 21 is tilted. , And change from a raised state to a fallen state. The state change of the target plate 21 is transmitted as a target state signal from the wireless unit 27 to the control device CS under the control of the control unit 24. At this time, the control unit 24 of the target devices TG1 to TG3 calculates the position information of the target devices TG1 to TG3 based on the GPS signal received by the GPS receiver 25, and the calculated position information is stored in the wireless unit. 27 to the control device CS.

  On the other hand, in the control device CS, when the second wireless unit 33 receives the position information transmitted from the target devices TG1 to TG3 and the target state signal indicating that the target plate 21 has occurred, the camera control unit 37 Based on the received position information and the target state signal, the camera CM pan head is directed to direct the shooting range of the camera CM to the shooting target range including the target device (eg, TG1) to be shot and its peripheral part. Controls the operation and zoom of the camera CM. Accordingly, the shooting target range including the target device TG1 and its peripheral portion is subsequently captured by the camera CM and transmitted to the control device CS, and the captured image data is received by the image receiving unit 38.

  On the other hand, in the shooting device FD held by the gunner at this time, the aiming direction of the gun 11 is detected by the aiming sensor AS, and this aiming detection data is transmitted from the transmission unit 12 to the control device CS. In the control device CS, when the aiming detection data is received by the first radio unit 31, the aiming locus information generation unit 35 generates aiming locus display data. Then, the display data of the aiming locus is superimposed on the captured image data received by the image receiving unit 38 in the display control unit 39 and displayed on the display 41 of the display device DS.

  Now, when the target plate 21 of the target device TG1 rises, the gunner adjusts the aim of the gun 11 with respect to the target plate 21 and then pulls the trigger. Then, in the shooting device FD, this trigger operation is detected by the trigger sensor TS. The trigger detection data is transmitted from the transmission unit 12 to the control device CS together with the aim detection data of the gun 11 at this time.

  In the control device CS, when the trigger detection data and the aim detection data are received by the first wireless unit 31, the trigger pressing information generation unit 36 determines whether or not there is a hit based on the aim position at this time point, Display data representing hit or miss is generated based on the determination result. This display data includes a hit mark or a miss mark to be displayed at the aiming position and balloon information to be displayed in association with these marks. The balloon information includes the shooting time and the “hit” or “miss”. Is included. Then, the generated display data representing the hit or miss is superimposed on the captured image data received by the image receiving unit 38 in the display control unit 39 together with the display data of the aiming locus, and is displayed on the display 41 of the display device DS. Is displayed.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of the display result. For example, if a bullet hits the target plate 21 of the target device TG1, the hit mark P2 is displayed over the display data P1 representing the aiming locus, and the balloon information P3 indicating the hit and the time is indicated above. It is displayed in association with the hit mark P2. On the other hand, when the bullet is detached from the target plate 21, the removal mark P4 is displayed over the display data P1 representing the aiming locus, and the balloon information P5 indicating the departure and the time is further displayed. Displayed in association with P4.

  When a bullet hits the target plate 21, the impact is detected by the impact sensor in the target device TG 1, and a tilt control signal is output from the control unit 24 to the tilt drive unit 22, and the target plate 21 falls from the state where it has occurred. Changes to the state. At the same time, a target state signal indicating that the target plate 21 has fallen is transmitted from the radio unit 27 to the control device CS.

  In the control device CS, when the target state signal is received by the second radio unit 33, data indicating that the target plate 21 represented by the target state signal has fallen is sent from the main control unit 30 to the trigger pressing information generation unit. 36 is notified. As a result, the trigger pressing information generation unit 36 generates target state display data in which the time when the target plate 21 of the target device TG1 falls and the time when it occurred are displayed side by side based on the notified data. Then, the generated target state display data is superimposed on the captured image data received by the image receiving unit 38 in the display control unit 39 and displayed on the display 41 of the display device DS. P6 in FIG. 5 shows an example of the display result.

  Thereafter, similarly, when the shooter changes the aim of the gun 11, the control device CS generates display data P1 representing the locus of the aiming position by the aiming locus information generating unit 35 based on the aiming detection data, and this display The data P1 is superimposed on the captured image data by the display control unit 39 and displayed on the display 41.

  Further, when the target plate 21 of another target device (for example, TG2) rises, the camera control of the control device CS is performed based on the position information sent from the target device TG2 and the target state signal indicating the rising state of the target plate 21. The pan 37 of the camera CM is controlled by the unit 37 so that the imaging range of the camera CM is directed to the shooting target range including the target device TG2 to be shot and its peripheral portion.

  Then, when the shooter aims the target plate 21 of the target device TG2 and then pulls the trigger of the gun 11, the control device CS causes the trigger pressing information generation unit based on the trigger detection data and the aim detection data at this time. 36, the presence / absence of hit is determined, and display data P2, P3 indicating hit / miss is generated based on the determination result, and the display data P2, P3 are converted into captured image data of the camera CM by the display control unit 39. It is superimposed and displayed on the display 41 as shown in FIG.

  Further, when the bullet hits the target plate 21, the trigger pressing information generation unit 36 of the control device CS caused the time when the target plate 21 of the target device TG2 fell down based on the target state signal sent from the cost device TG2. Target state display data P6 in which the times are displayed side by side is generated, and this target state display data P6 is superimposed on the captured image data and displayed on the display 41 as shown in FIG.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, the movement of the aim of the gun 11 is displayed as the aim position locus P1 superimposed on the captured image data of the shooting target range, and it is determined whether the gunner has hit or missed the trigger. Display data P2 and P3 representing the determination results are displayed on the locus of the aiming position. For this reason, the shooter or the supporter can check where the aiming position is at that time regardless of whether or not the bullet hits the target plate 21. Further, the movement of the gun 11 can be verified by displaying the trajectory P1 of the aiming position, and thereby it can be determined whether or not there is no useless movement in the operation of the gun 11 of the shooter. Further, the time at which the target plate 21 of the target devices TG1 to TG3 is raised and the time at which the target device 21 has fallen by shooting are displayed side by side, so that the speed of shooting can be verified.
If the shooting has not been performed for a predetermined time or longer, the trajectory P before the predetermined time is deleted (if the shooting has been performed before the predetermined time, the fixed time of the shooting) Or excluding a certain period of time before and after).

  Furthermore, when the target plate 21 rises, based on the position information sent from the target device and the target state signal representing the up-and-down state of the target plate 21, the shooting target including the target device to be fired and its peripheral part Since the movement of the camera CM head and the zoom of the camera CM are controlled so as to direct the imaging range of the camera CM to the range, the target of the shooting target is always followed by following the transition of the target devices TG1 to TG3 that are the shooting target. Images of the device and its peripheral parts can be displayed on the display 41.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, for each shooting training, the information indicating the trajectory of the aiming position obtained in the series of processes, the determination result of the presence / absence of hit, the information indicating the aiming position when hit and missed, and hit In this case, information indicating the time when the target plate 21 is raised and the time when the target plate 21 is collapsed is stored in a storage medium provided in the control device CS in association with the identification information of the shooting training as meta information indicating the training result. Then, corresponding meta information may be read from the storage medium and displayed or printed out according to a search operation after the end of training. If it does in this way, the result of shooting training can be verified after shooting training.

  In the above embodiment, the display data representing the trajectory of the aiming position is generated and displayed. However, the display data representing the aiming position of the gun 11 when the trigger of the gun 11 is operated, for example, P2 in FIG. , P4 may be generated and displayed. Further, information indicating the time when the target plate 21 was raised and the time when the target board 21 was knocked down may be displayed when the hit mark P2 is clicked.
