Abstract
In this study, a software solution for the development of the Individual Shooting Simulation System is introduced. Shooting training for military and law enforcement is critical to mission effectiveness and safety. However, traditional shooting methods have physical, financial and safety limitations. The developed software offers a cost-effective solution to the user, thanks to its portable capabilities and user-friendly interface. The system includes laser-based targeting, image processing applications and real-time feedback. Designed in Python, the software offers easy installation and use with portable hardware. Tests have shown that the system is successful in terms of accuracy (%±1 pixels), speed (under 1 second processing time) and flexibility. Users and instructors expressed their satisfaction with the performance and ease of use of the system. Additionally, the system offers an effective learning environment for both individual and group training. In the future, it is aimed to implement the system in a wider application area with improvements such as artificial intelligence-supported image processing and mobile device compatibility. This study provides a solution that contributes to making shooting training safe, effective and accessible.

Abstract
Bu çalışmada, Bireysel Atış Simülasyon Sisteminin geliştirilmesine yönelik bir yazılım çözümü tanıtılmaktadır. Askeri ve kolluk kuvvetleri için atış eğitimi, görevin etkinliği ve güvenliği açısından kritik öneme sahiptir. Ancak geleneksel atış epitim yöntemlerinin fiziksel, finansal ve güvenlik sınırlamaları vardır. Geliştirilen yazılım, portatif olması imkan ve kabiliyetleri ile kullanıcı dostu bir arayüz sayesinde kullanıcıya maliyet etkin bir çözüm sunar. Sistem, lazer tabanlı hedefleme, görüntü işleme uygulamaları ve gerçek zamanlı geri bildirimi içerir. Python yazılımında tasarlanan yazılım, taşınabilir donanımlarla kolay kurulum ve kullanım imkanı sunar. Testler sistemin doğruluk (%±1 piksel), hız (1 saniyenin altında işlem süresi) ve esneklik açısından başarılı olduğunu göstermiştir. Kullanıcılar ve eğitmenler sistemin performansından ve kullanım kolaylığından memnun olduklarını dile getirdiler. Ayrıca sistem hem bireysel hem de grup eğitimleri için etkili bir öğrenme ortamı sunmaktadır. Gelecekte sistemin yapay zeka destekli görüntü işleme, mobil cihaz uyumluluğu gibi iyileştirmelerle daha geniş bir uygulama alanında hayata geçirilmesi hedeflenmektedir. Bu çalışma, atış eğitiminin güvenli, etkili ve erişilebilir hale getirilmesine katkıda bulunan bir çözüm sunmaktadır.
