Definitions
- the present invention refers to a device for viewing objects at a distance from a user of the device, including a first part arranged to receive a bundle of light beams along an aiming line, which form an optical image of the viewed object, a reflecting member provided to be hit by said bundle from the first part and to reflect at least a primary part of the light of said bundle, and a second part, which includes an ocular member enabling to the user to view the object along the aiming line.
- the device according to the invention may be utilised wherever there is a need to aim at anything, i.e. to view any remote object.
- the device may advantageously be applied to several types of instruments, especially those which are intended to be directed towards a certain target.
- An area of application where the invention advantageously may be used is different types of weapons, which are fired towards a target.
- the invention may advantageously be utilised during use of all types of such weapons, for instance hunting guns, police weapons, military fire arms and larger weapons, such as anti-aircraft guns, shell guns, artillery guns etc., weapons for sport exercising etc.
- the field of the invention does not need to include only different types of weapons.
- the device may in an advantageous manner be applied to different types of binoculars and similar viewing devices for different purposes, for instance for monitoring or for bird watching.
- a further field of application, where the device according to the invention may be used in an advantageous manner is for instance instruments for sound and light transmission and/or receiving, which need to be directed, such as laser instruments for instance for measuring the velocity of vehicle traffic.
- reflecting members which when they are hit by a bundle of light beams divide the light into two portions.
- One such reflecting member is known from the document GB 1 418 539, which discloses a semi-transparent mirror arranged in a telescopic sight.
- the incoming light is divided into two portions, one which continues to an ocular of the telescopic sight and one which is angled 90° out from the telescopic sight through a lense and a lateral opening.
- the known telescopic sight includes means for holding a conventional camera outside this opening, and thus, images may be taken of the object viewed through the telescopic sight.
- This known telescopic sight is intended for a fire-arms and to be connected with a conventional, external camera, especially a camera having fixed lenses.
- a disadvantage of the known telescopic sight is that it may not replay the images stored by the camera and certainly not replay a sequence of images, for instance in connection with the firing of a shot.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a device, by which remote objects may be viewed and which enables storing and replay of the image which a user of the device sees when he views the object. Furthermore, it is aimed at a device which may replay a sequence of images of the object that the user views through the device.
- a device of the kind initially defined which is characterised in that it includes an electronic image- receiving member, which is arranged to receive said reflected primary part and to convert it to an electric signal and which image- receiving member is connectable to an electronic image-processing unit, which includes a memory member arranged to store in an electric manner said electric signal.
- the device according to the invention then enable storing of an image sequence, which shows the point towards which the weapon has been directed before the shot was fired, at which point the shot hits and the course of events after the shot did hit.
- a sequence of images may be used for a plurality of different purposes, for instance for education of shots, for adjustment of the weapon, for documentation of a shooting, for instance in connection with actions of the police or military etc.
- the reflecting member is semi-transparent for permitting a secondary part of the light of said bundle from the first part to extend further through the reflecting member to the eye of the user.
- the light is divided into two paths, which both describe the image the user views.
- the device is arranged to transfer one of these to the ocular member and the other to the image-receiving member. It is thus possible to store the image the user momentarily sees through the ocular member.
- the part of the light which extends to the ocular member may extend in a path along the aiming line. However, this path does not need to coincide with the aiming line but may be parallel with the aiming line or form an angle therewith.
- the image- processing unit is arranged to convert said electric signal to an electronic image.
- the device includes advantageously a display member, which is connected to the image-processing unit and is arranged to visualise said electronic image. Therethrough it is possible for the user to see the image transferred by the light along the aiming line via the display member. If the device according to the invention is applied to a weapon, the user may visually receive information about his hit pattern on the display member. This will be appreciated among sport shots, who may obtain a high skill level thanks to the invention enabling for a user to view an analyse the incorrectness between the point aimed at and the point of impact. This leads to the requirement of a relatively small number of shots for permitting a user to obtain a certain skill level and consequently, the costs for ammunition and littering thereof in the environment are reduced.
- the image- processing unit may be arranged to store a plurality of electronic images sequentially in the memory member, and the display member is arranged to permit replay of a sequence of images of said store images. Thanks to the fact that the memory member stores the image sequence which the user sees electronically, possibilities are created for transferring in a wireless manner a sequence of images to an external visualising unit. This is very advantageous since other persons then may view the image seen by the user. For instance, at a competition in biathlon, the device may be applied to a sports gun, wherein the device according to the invention makes it possible for the spectators to follow the viewing image of the user at the shooting moments. In such a case, the spectators may in a more significant manner experience the excitement of such an event, which increases the commercial value of the sport.
- the device includes a sensor member, which is arranged to sense the value of one or several parameters and to co-operate with the image- processing unit, which is arranged to provide the user with information regarding said parameters via the display member.
- a sensor member which is arranged to sense the value of one or several parameters and to co-operate with the image- processing unit, which is arranged to provide the user with information regarding said parameters via the display member.
- One example of such a parameter is the distance to the object viewed. Consequently, the user may in an easy manner see the information and take it into consideration, which is advantageous for instance in connection with shooting.
- the reflecting member includes two reflecting surfaces, a first surface of which is intended to reflect said bundle of light beams from the first part to the image-receiving member and a second surface of which is intended to reflect the electronic image visualised by the display member to the eye of the user. Consequently, the user may view the object virtually in real time at the same time as the image- receiving member stores electronic images of the object viewed by the user. This creates possibilities for the image-processing unit to compare the information from the images with the information from a database, for instance for automatic identification of the object viewed, as for instance, vehicle registration numbers.
- the reflecting member is adjustable in at least two positions, wherein a first position permits the user to view directly the object along the aiming line and a second position permits the user to view the object virtually along the aiming line via the display member.
- a first position permits the user to view directly the object along the aiming line
- a second position permits the user to view the object virtually along the aiming line via the display member.
- the device includes a member for preferably automatic initiating and/or terminating of said storing.
- a member for preferably automatic initiating and/or terminating of said storing By such a member, possibilities are created for automatic alternation between start and stop of said storing. This makes it possible to a user to act actively in connection with any activity without the need of considering whether the storing is activated or not.
- said member is arranged to co-operate with a trigger of a triggering device in such a way that an initiated change of position of said trigger activates said storing prior to an firing. Consequently, an image sequence, which describes the course of events, which the user sees via the device before, during and/or after the firing, may be documented. This is very advantageous, for instance, in connection with actions of the police, which may require shooting for self-defence, since the device enables replay of stored sequences of images. This may for instance be of a significant importance for proving any crime.
