Abstract:
1. An optical tracking system for determining the pose of a moving object in a reference coordinate system, the system comprising: at least one light emitter attached to said moving object; at least one other light emitter situated in a fixed position in a reference coordinate system; at least one Wide Field Of View (WFOV) first optical detector attached to said moving object, said WFOV optical detector including a second optical detector situated at said fixed position in said reference coordinate system; and a pose processor coupled with said first optical detector, with said second optical detector, with said at least one light emitter attached to said moving object, and with said at least one light emitter situated at said fixed position, for associating at least one representation of one of said at least one two light emitters situated at a fixed position on an image acquired by said optical sensor, with a respective one optical receptors projecting the light received from said one of said at least one two light emitters situated at a fixed position, on said optical sensor, according to the position of said representation on said image.
