Abstract:
The present invention provides systems and methods for tracking items (e.g., commodities, goods, containers, boxes, packages, etc.) through transportations to multiple locations within a pre-defined space, to allow the position(s) and movement(s) of such items to be accurately tracked and documented, and to allow such items to be quickly identified and located based on tracking records kept within the tracking system. The system may utilize image sensors, image recognition and processes software, position translation software, and a virtual model of the pre-defined space in order to track objects within the defined space and maintain a record of the movement(s) and position(s) of the object within the pre-defined space.

Claim (Index 64):
A method of determining a location of an image acquisition device in a predefined space, comprising:\n a. providing a plurality of unique static markers arranged at predetermined positional locations within the predefined space, the predetermined positions being recorded in a machine-readable memory and digitally represented in a digital model of the predefined space; b. capturing an image of a portion of the predefined space using the image acquisition device, said image including at least one of said static markers; c. determining a location of said image acquisition device within said predefined space, including the steps of:\n i. performing image analysis using an image processing system to identify the at least one static marker in said image; \n ii. identifying the position of said at least one static marker using said image analysis system to analyze optical features on said at least one static marker and comparing said optical features to records of said plurality of unique static markers stored in said machine-readable memory to locate a matching record that includes data regarding a location of said at least one static marker within said predefined space; and \n iii. using said image processing software to translate the position and orientation of said image acquisition device and said known position of said static marker to identify a position of said image acquisition device in said predefined space.
