Integrated camera and ultra-wideband location devices and related systems

A real time location system, the system comprising:

• one or more ultra-wideband (UWB) sensors positioned in an environment;
• one or more image capture sensors positioned in the environment;
• wherein the one or more UWB sensors and the one or more image capture sensors are integrated into at least one location device;
• wherein the at one location device comprises a UWB location device, a combination UWB/camera location device and/or a camera location device;
• and
• at least one UWB tag associated with an object in the environment to provide a tagged item in the environment and wherein a location of the tagged item is tracked using the at least one location device,
• wherein the system is configured to pair the UWB tag with the object using visual attributes and/or characteristics of the object;
• wherein the at least one UWB tag contains properties of the object that include visual attributes and/or characteristics of the object;
• wherein when a camera recognizes the object, the camera pulls visual attributes from the object and locates a best fit of the pulled visual attributes among UWB tags;
• and
• wherein the located best fit is used to identify an object ID and determine the location of the UWB tag.
