Abstract
A firearm aiming system comprising an imaging system comprising an imaging sensor and an image processor; and a user display, wherein the imaging system is adapted to detect a potential target on the user display based on target features. In some embodiments the system includes a firing processor with an epsilon logic module for calculating a target aim-point/area used by the firing processor to make a firing decision.

27. A method of operating a firearm having a display, the firearm comprising:
-
pointing the firearm at a target to enable selection of the target, whereby the target is highlighted on the display of the firearm to produce a highlighted target area; selecting the highlighted target area by locking on any location of the highlighted target area resulting in the firearm locking onto a desired hit point and tracking the selected target; and aiming the firearm in a direction of the target until the firearm has determined the target will be hit. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32)

33. A method of reducing the probability of missing a target upon firing thereon by a firearm having an imaging system, the method comprising:
-
detecting a target within a field of view using object background segregation by the imaging system of the firearm; selecting the target automatically or based on a user command in order to track the target; predicting movement of the target, if any; and
thus the position, of the target with respect to background features of the field of view;predicting the aiming of the firearm using background features of the field of view; and enabling firing at the target when the predicted aim of the firearm coincides with the predicted position of the target. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
