Cv auto-calibrated bridle method and system

A system for determining and implementing a calibrated operating state for a rigging system, comprising:

• a plurality of movement mechanisms, each including at least one line supporting an object;
• at least one imaging system configured to capture image data corresponding to physical components of the movement mechanisms during motion of the object;
• a processing system configured to:
• (i) extract geometric information representative of positions of one or more components of the movement mechanisms from the image data;
• (ii) generate a calibration of the rigging system based on the extracted geometric information, the calibration representing spatial relationships between the movement mechanisms and the supported object;
• and
• (iii) automatically configure a control system using the calibration to control coordinated movement of the object;
• wherein the control system is configured to control the movement mechanisms based on the calibration model to position the object within a three-dimensional space.
