Multi-source 3-dimensional detection and tracking

A method of determining an estimated location of at least one moving object, the method comprising:

• detecting a change in a stream of images from a first camera and a second camera indicative of the at least one moving object;
• identifying the at least one moving object based on the detected change in the stream of images, wherein identifying includes determining a pixel location of the at least one moving object;
• calculating a bearing and an elevation of the at least one moving object based on the pixel location relative to the stream of images;
• calculating an intersection of a ray from the first camera and a ray from the second camera, the intersection being indicative of the estimated location of the at least one moving object;
• providing the estimated location as an output to a display device;
• and
• wherein the at least one moving object comprises a plurality of moving objects, and wherein calculating the intersection comprises looping through each moving object such that an intersection is calculated for each moving object.

An object detection system comprising:

• a first camera having a first field of view;
• a second camera having a second field of view that overlaps with the first field of view;
• object detection logic configured to receive a first image from the first camera and a second image from the second camera and identify an object in both the first and second image;
• object mapping logic configured to identify a location of the object based on the first and second image;
• display logic configured to display the location of the object;
• error determination logic configured to estimate an error margin for the identified location;
• and
• wherein the display logic displays a representation of the error margin on a display.

• object mapping logic configured to identify a location of the object based on the first and second image;
• display logic configured to display the location of the object;
• pruning logic configured to compare the object to an FOV check and responsively discard the object if it does not meet the FOV check.
