This study explores the most effective method for impact measurement in laser shooting ranges, crucial for security training, accident prevention, and cost reduction. It utilizes video surveillance and image processing algorithms in Python to accurately determine laser impact locations. The research found that employing a single target per silhouette is most efficient, minimizing errors to ±1 impact and enabling heat map generation for feedback. The combination of video surveillance and image processing significantly enhances safety and reduces costs by providing real-time data. The findings advocate for the single target approach due to its precision and the comprehensive insights gained from heat maps, maintaining accuracy within a two-hit margin.
