Estimating tracking sensor parametrization using known surface constraints

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium including computer readable program code for tracking an object comprising:

• a processor operable to receive data from a plurality of sensors;
• and
• a memory including the computer readable program code, wherein the computer readable program code includes:
• code operable to determine the positions of a plurality of bounding surfaces within a bounded area based on the data from the plurality of sensors;
• code operable to cause the processor to analyze at least one interaction of the object with the plurality of bounding surfaces;
• and
• code operable to transform a three-dimensional location of the object in a video frame to a two-dimensional position in a broadcast camera.

An apparatus for tracking an object comprising:

• a processor in communication with a plurality of sensors, wherein the processor is programmed to:
• receive position data from the plurality of sensors;
• determine the positions of a plurality of bounding surfaces within a bounded area;
• determine the position of an object within the bounded area;
• analyze at least one interaction of the object with the plurality of bounding surfaces;
• and
• wherein the apparatus is operable to receive a three-dimensional location of the object in a video frame and is operable to transform the three-dimensional location of the object in the video frame to a two-dimensional position.
