Abstract
A system and method is provided for registering outputs from a plurality of remote positional data sources, the system having: a plurality of positional data sources disposed on a plurality of units providing a plurality of types of positional data relative to at least one commonly tracked object held as a local positional data source; a processor disposed on a unit configured to process the positional data from each positional data source and apply a filter to the positional data; and the processor configured to weigh the positional data based on a probability of that a positional datum in the positional data is accurate and using weighted positional data to identify an absolute location of the commonly tracked object.
Claims12
A system for registering outputs from a plurality of remote positional data sources with local positional data sources for commonly tracked objects, said system comprising:
- a plurality of remote positional data sources disposed on a plurality of units providing a plurality of types of positional data relative to at least one commonly tracked object;
- a processor disposed on a local unit configured to process said positional data from said remote positional data sources and apply a filter to said remote positional data;
- and
- said local processor configured to weigh said remote positional data based on a probability that a positional datum in said remote positional data is accurate and using weighted positional data to identify an absolute local positional location of said commonly tracked object.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program or plurality of computer programs, the computer program or plurality of computer programs being arranged such that, when executed by a computer system or one or more processors, it/they cause the computer system or the one or more processors to
- Select at least one commonly tracked object;
- Obtain positional data of said commonly tracked object relative to a plurality of positional remote data sources;
- Register said remote positional data of said commonly tracked object;
- Apply a filter to said registered positional data of said commonly tracked object;
- Correct remote registration errors in said registered remote positional data based on results of said filter;
- and
- Output an absolute position of said commonly tracked object based on said corrected registered remote positional data.
