1. A precision guided firearm (PGF) comprising:
- a trigger assembly; and
an optical device coupled to the trigger assembly and including an optical sensor configured to capture video of a view area and at least one motion sensor, the optical device configured to process video frames of the video to determine a distance between an aim point of the PGF and a selected location on a target and to determine a trajectory of the aim point based on the video frames and motion data from the at least one motion sensor.

Abstract
A precision guided firearm (PGF) includes a trigger assembly and an optical device coupled to the trigger assembly. The optical device includes an optical sensor configured to capture video of a view area and includes at least one motion sensor. The optical device is configured to process video frames of the video to determine a distance between an aim point of the PGF and a selected location on a target and to determine a trajectory of the aim point based on the video frames and motion data from the at least one motion sensor.

9. A method of controlling discharge of a precision guided firearm (PGF), the method comprising:
-
processing video frames of a video of an optical scope of the PGF to determine a distance between an aim point of the PGF and a selected location on a target within the video frames; measuring movement of the PGF using at least one motion sensor of the optical scope; and determining a shot time when the distance is less than a threshold distance from the selected location. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
