PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a safety monitoring system for monitoring a firing range day and night by means of an image whether high-explosive projectiles are falling within a predetermined area or not. SOLUTION: Three infrared cameras are set separately from one another for automatically and spontaneously identifying an impact point via infrared images provided by these infrared cameras, so that an image corresponding to the impact point can be displayed and interposed on a still picture from a visible camera, allowing the point corresponding to the impact point to be computed based on the principle of triangulation as a point on a mapping image, with a displayed image and an output image.
