SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING MOVING BODY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18374017 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING MOVING BODY
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes a system for supporting the movement of a moving body in a predetermined area by using markers and infrastructure cameras.
- The system acquires images from infrastructure cameras with markers in a predetermined area.
- It compares images from different times to detect position change markers.
- The system determines if the infrastructure camera is out of position based on the number of position change markers detected.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in various industries such as:
- Surveillance systems
- Sports analytics
- Robotics
Problems Solved
This technology helps in:
- Monitoring movement in a specific area
- Detecting infrastructure camera misalignment
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Improved accuracy in tracking moving bodies
- Early detection of infrastructure camera misalignment
Potential Commercial Applications
"Improving Movement Tracking Accuracy with Marker-based System"
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to marker-based systems for tracking movement in specific areas.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology handle occlusions in the image data?
The system may struggle to accurately track movement if markers are obstructed in the images.
What is the maximum distance between markers for accurate tracking?
The system's effectiveness may be limited by the distance between markers in the predetermined area.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure provides a system for supporting a movement of a moving body in a predetermined area. The system acquires an image captured by an infrastructure camera such that the image includes a plurality of markers arranged in the predetermined area. The system compares the image acquired this time and the image acquired previous time. The system detects a position change marker among the plurality of markers whose position in the image acquired previous time changes from that in the image acquired this time. The system determines that the infrastructure camera is out of position when it is detected that number of the position change marker is equal to or more than a predetermined number. The system determines that the infrastructure camera is not out of position when it is detected that number of the position change marker is less than the predetermined number.
