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 72):
The method of  claim 71 , wherein said machine vision object location protocol includes,\n a. capturing an image of a portion of the predefined space using an image acquisition device, said image including at least one of said static markers; b. performing image analysis using an image processing system to identify the at least one static marker in said image; c. identifying the position of said at least one static marker using said image processing system to analyze optical features on said at least one static marker and compare identification data encoded in said optical features to said records of said plurality of static markers stored in said machine-readable memory to locate a matching record, wherein said record includes data regarding a location of said static marker within said predefined space d. using an image processing system to translate the positions of said image acquisition device and said static marker such that the static marker is set as xyz origin within a coordinate system of said digital model of said predefined space; e. calculating the position and orientation of the image acquisition device within the predefined space based on the determined position of at least one of said static markers, a pose estimation calculation for said at least one static marker, and an estimation of the distance of the static marker from the image acquisition device based on a size of said static marker in said image; and f. generating a digital representation of the image acquisition device in said digital model of said predefined space having a position and orientation in the digital model of said predefined space that closely corresponds to the position and orientation of said image acquisition device in the predefined space.
