Abstract
Methods, computer program products and systems for providing video tracking. The method includes receiving a first signal from a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag. A location of the RFID tag is determined in response to the first signal. An image that includes the location of the RFID tag is recorded. The location of the RFID tag is marked on the image, resulting in a marked image.
Claims20
A method for providing a marked image, the method comprising:
- recording, by an image recorder, an image that includes a location of a radio frequency identification tag;
- and
- marking, by the image recorder, the location of the radio frequency identification tag on the image, resulting in the marked image, wherein the marking is performed by overlaying the location of the radio frequency identification tag identified on the image, wherein the image recorder recognizes a first signal emitted from the radio frequency identification tag, wherein the first signal comprises an ultraviolet signal and the marking is performed by the image recorder based on the first signal, wherein the radio frequency identification tag is attached to an object and the first signal includes data about the object, the data comprising a value of the object, wherein the first signal is emitted by the radio frequency identification tag when the radio frequency identification tag receives a radio frequency signal from a radio frequency identification emitter.
A system for providing a marked image, the system comprising:
- an image recorder for recording an image that includes a location of a radio frequency identification tag and for marking the location of the radio frequency identification tag on the image, resulting in the marked image, wherein the marking is performed by overlaying the location of the radio frequency identification tag identified on the image, wherein the marking is performed in response to receiving a signal from the radio frequency identification tag, wherein the signal is an ultraviolet signal, wherein the radio frequency identification tag is attached to an object and the signal includes data about the object, the data comprising a value of the object, wherein the signal is emitted by the radio frequency identification tag when the radio frequency identification tag receives a radio frequency signal from a radio frequency identification emitter.
A tangible computer-readable medium storing a plurality of instructions which, when executed by a processor of an image recorder, cause the processor to perform operations for providing a marked image, the operations comprising:
- recording an image that includes a location of a radio frequency identification tag;
- and
- marking the location of the radio frequency identification tag on the image, resulting in the marked image, wherein the marking is performed by overlaying the location of the radio frequency identification tag identified on the image, wherein the image is recorded by the image recorder that recognizes a first signal emitted from the radio frequency identification tag, wherein the first signal comprises an ultraviolet signal and the marking is performed by the image recorder based on the first signal, wherein the radio frequency identification tag is attached to an object and the first signal includes data about the object, the data comprising a value of the object, wherein the first signal is emitted by the radio frequency identification tag when the radio frequency identification tag receives a radio frequency signal from a radio frequency identification emitter.
