Auto target detection of humanoid and auto shooting using sniper: A design approach

In this paper a new defense mechanism using image processing has been implemented which can acquire targets at long distances with high precision in various weather conditions. The main objective is to make an effective tool for the armed forces which can guard the border areas. The mechanism consists of two modules: targeting unit and firing unit. The targeting unit has a microcontroller along with sensors to detect the presence of humans in the targeted area and processes various atmospheric parameters electronically. LASER pointer is used to determine if the desired target is hit or missed by tracking the path of the bullet and determining the point of intersection with the LASER. The targeting unit has special mechanism which can position the gun automatically once the parameters are obtained.
