Abstract:
A system and method for determining positional order of vehicles across a threshold plane within a dynamic environment is provided. The system can include moving vehicles (e.g., boats) each having a GPS receiver. A reference object (e.g., an anchored boat) can have an image capturing device and a primary GPS receiver, and can be subject to movement induced by the dynamic environment. A fixed object having a known position (e.g., a government buoy) relative to the reference object define a threshold plane, which is subject to movement based on movement of the reference object. Photometric data gathered by the image capturing device and geospatial data gathered from the GPS receivers, the primary GPS receiver, and the fixed object is analyzed by a processor to determine a positional order at which each vehicle crossed the movable threshold plane.

Claim (Index 14):
A method for determining order of vehicles crossing a threshold plane within a dynamic environment, the method comprising:\n identifying one or more moving vehicles, the one or more vehicles each comprising a GPS receiver for determining a respective vehicle location; positioning a reference object relative to a fixed object having a known position, the reference object having an image capturing device and a primary GPS receiver, whereby the reference object and the fixed object define a threshold plane between them, whereby the threshold plane is subject to movements induced by the movements of the reference object; capturing images with the image capturing device of the one or more vehicles crossing the threshold plane; receiving geospatial data gathered from the one or more GPS receivers ;  the primary GPS receiver, and the known position of the fixed object; receiving photometric data gathered by the image capturing device; comparing the position of the one or more vehicles, with a processor, at a time the one or more vehicles cross the threshold plane by analyzing the photometric data and the geospatial data, and by decoding super frame data and time delta data to determine a time or a positional order at which the one or more vehicles crossed the threshold plane; and indicating or displaying the positional order determined by the processor.
