How, for instance, to they plan to measure the differences in wind velocity, given that the velocity can be different at different points along the bullet's path??

Real snipers (well, the spotters) look at grass, trees, water ripples and blowing sand along the whole trajectory and factor that into the shot. I don't think our image recognition technology is up to that ability yet. However, this system would basically automate 80% the connection between a ballistics chart ("there's an app for that"), the current conditions, and the scope.

I think the "expert system" that would have to massage any data from the image recognition would be the hard part (not that image recognition is "easy" by any means). I think they're gonna need the human in the loop for a while yet.
