SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING MOVING BODY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240119621 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 comparing images captured by an infrastructure camera.

  • The system acquires an image with markers in a predetermined area.
  • It compares the current image with the previous one to detect position change markers.
  • If the number of position change markers exceeds a predetermined threshold, the system determines that the camera is out of position.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in various applications such as:

  • Surveillance systems
  • Sports training facilities
  • Virtual reality environments

Problems Solved

This technology helps in:

  • Ensuring accurate tracking of moving bodies
  • Detecting infrastructure camera misalignment

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Improved accuracy in monitoring movements
  • Quick detection of camera misalignment

Potential Commercial Applications

A potential commercial application for this technology could be in:

  • Security systems for public spaces

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be:

  • Motion tracking systems used in sports training facilities

Unanswered Questions

How does the system handle occlusions of markers in the image?

The system may have challenges in accurately detecting position change markers if they are occluded in the image.

What is the impact of lighting conditions on the accuracy of marker detection?

Variations in lighting conditions may affect the system's ability to detect markers accurately, leading to potential errors in position tracking.


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.
