KR20070111416A - Apparatus and method for controlling the gun in hidden position - Google Patents

Abstract

A remote-controlled aiming system is provided to aim a gun from a remote place by using a pan/tilt platform on which the gun is placed and controlled remotely. A remote-controlled aiming system comprises a gun, a pan/tilt platform with a camera and a display unit. The gun is mounted on the pan/tilt platform with the camera. The gun is controlled based on video information transmitted in a wired or a wireless manner, and aiming is conducted with the display unit.

Aiming method to control the gun in concealed state {Apparatus and method for controlling the gun in hidden position}

Image processing, wired / wireless network technology, HCI

Increasingly, modern warfare is increasingly focused on avoiding battles and killings, and building intelligent systems, such as smart guns, to prevent the enemy from infiltrating into the best defense. In the case of defense-developed countries, technology is becoming more advanced, with dangerous missions being carried out by specially crafted robots. In this trend, aiming at eliminating the conventional risk of being exposed and attacked when a soldier is directly in the same position as a firearm, the aimer captures the situation through the hidden image and interfaces like a game-aligned interface. Can be aimed at

A new approach of form of approach to combat is the idea of the present invention. The present invention is one of the application fields related to the smart gun (Smart Gun) that many existing studies are being made. The smart gun is a state-of-the-art weapon system that uses a sensor and image processing technology to automate the killing of enemies by direct human involvement in controlling the gun. The present invention has been proposed to help the aimer more efficiently and accurately perform the operation in the state of protection, in order to overcome the disadvantage that the conventional smart guns automatically execute the command, but the consumption of ammunition and fine adjustment is impossible.

Although studies on existing smart guns have made a lot of technical advances, it is not easy to precisely aim the computer alone in dynamic combat situations, such as bombs. Accordingly, there is a need for a new type of smart gun that enables an effective battle that combines the intelligence of a human (operator) with an automated smart gun.

In the present invention, the main idea is to allow individual soldiers to operate firearms through the recognition of the surrounding environment and the intuitive interface even in the hidden state by applying image processing technology. The firearms are mounted on a Pan / Tilt (PT) Platform with a camera that sends video signals so that the operator can operate them without exposing them. The system configuration is as follows.

In addition, the concealed operator receives the image signal, aligns the target and the center point of the screen through the image, performs the aiming, sends the alignment value Pan / Tilt, operates the gun, and executes the process as follows.

While concealing your position, you can kill enemies by minimizing your risk and aiming with intuitive screen alignment. In particular, there are many applications such as new forms of combat while minimizing bullet waste, which is generally noted as a disadvantage of smart guns.

It is possible to avoid direct face-to-face combat using conventional firearms and to perform the battle in a concealed state.
