Systems and methods for tracking objects in an environment
Systems and methods for locating and/or tracking objects in an environment are discussed. The system may include non-visible light emitters and a camera and server system including an image geometry module configured to determine the location of an identified object in the environment. Objects may be identified based on a predefined frequency and/or pattern of pulses.
1. A method comprising:
transmitting, by an emitter positioned on a vehicle, a signal comprising non-visible spectrum light;
capturing, by a camera device, the transmitted signal and an environment;
identifying, by the camera device or a server system, the vehicle associated with the captured signal based on at least one characteristic of the signal; and
determining, by the server system, the location of the identified vehicle in the environment.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the signal comprises at least one of a predefined frequency or a predefined pattern.
3. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
generating, by the server system, a recording of the determined location of the identified vehicle in the environment over time.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
generating, by the server system, a heat map comprising the determined location of the identified vehicle in the environment.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining, the location of the identified object in the environment further comprises:
imaging, by the camera device, a pre-configured object within the environment;
identifying, by the server system, a location of the pre-configured object within the environment; and
determining, by the server system, the location of the captured signal relative to the location of the pre-configured object.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the pre-configured object comprises at least one of a marking on the ground, a pole, or a light source.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying the determined location of the identified vehicle on a user computing device.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
storing the determined location of the identified vehicle in a database communicatively coupled to the server system.
9. A system comprising:
an emitter configured to transmit a signal comprising non-visible spectrum light;
a camera device configured to record the transmitted signal and an environment; and
a server system comprising at least one processor and non-transitory memory, said server system configured to determine the location of a vehicle associated with the recorded signal within the environment.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein at least one of the camera device or the server system is configured to determine the vehicle associated with the recorded signal.
11. The system of claim 9 , further comprising:
a database configured to store the determined location of the vehicle associated with the recorded signal within the environment.
12. The system of claim 9 , further comprising:
a user interface configured to display the determined location of the vehicle associated with the recorded signal.
13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the server system is further configured to generate at least one of a heat map comprising the determined location of the vehicle or a recording of the determined location of the vehicle over time.
14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the emitted signal comprises a predefined frequency.
15. The system of claim 9 , wherein the emitted signal comprises a predefined pattern.
16. A method comprising:
receiving, by a server, a captured signal from a camera device having at least one of a predefined frequency or a predefined pattern, the captured signal comprising non-visible spectrum light;
receiving, by the server, data of an environment; and
determining, by the server, a location of a vehicle within the environment based on the received captured signal and data of the environment.
17. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:
identifying, by the server, the vehicle based on at least one of the predefined frequency or the predefined pattern.
18. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:
generating, by the server, at least one of a heat map comprising the determined location of the vehicle or a recording of the determined location of the vehicle over time.
19. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:
determining, by the server, the location of the captured signal relative to a location of a pre-configured object.
20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the pre-configured object comprises a least one of a marking on the ground, a pole, or a light source.
