HomeFront Intelligent Target System

Project

Manually checking and taping targets whileyou're shooting sucks.Our sponsor iskeenly aware of this as he is a firearmsinstructor.We want to make a computer dothe work for you.

Our goal for this project was to create a system that would automatically detect where on a target you hit, eliminating the need to manually check or tape the target. The system must be highly portable, durable, and accurate.

Design Description

1. Main device body is 3D printed -feet and armor custom ordered. Contains 2). And 3).
2. RaspPi camera photographing target while Raspberry Pi runs machine vision model and relays location to app on user's phone.
3. Teensy running microphones to detect shot and give rough estimate of bullet location.

Performance Review

• Analysis
• Position Accuracy
• Total System Weight
• System Dimensions
• Survivable Impact
• Setup Steps and Time
• Time exposed to inclement weather

Conclusion

• The casing does a great job of protecting the electronics, and the sensors are functioningproperly, but the software needs work.
• Lessons Learned: Projects always take twice as long and cost twice as much as you think.
• Recommended Future Work: Get Computer and Electrical engineers to work on the software and app development. Upgrade to an Nvidia Jetson for faster image processing.
