Abstract:
1. A method of predicting the position of an aimpoint in a simulation environment, the method comprising: a computer receiving from a video capture system a plurality of video frames, wherein each of the plurality of video frames comprises at least one aimpoint projected by a simulated weapon, and wherein the plurality of video frames comprises a current video frame and at least one past video frame; the computer analyzing each of the plurality of video frames to determine a plurality of known positions of the aimpoint, the plurality of known positions of the aimpoint comprising a current known position of the aimpoint in the current video frame and at least one historical known position of the aimpoint in the at least one past video frame; and the computer predicting a position of the aimpoint in a first subsequent video frame by averaging a predicted position of the aimpoint in a second subsequent video frame with at least one of the plurality of known positions of the aimpoint.
