Abstract:
An improved mechanism for calibrating a local positioning system through the use of passive or retro-reflective markers is described herein. A plurality of imaging targets with the passive or retro-reflective markers may be attached or affixed on a surface of an object. The local positioning system may then capture a first image of the imaging targets in a non-illuminated state and further capture a second image of the imaging targets in an illuminated state. A difference image between the first and second captured images may be computed and then segmented. The local positioning system may then identify the plurality of imaging targets based on the segmented difference image and position itself to extract information. The extracted information may then be used to help calibrate the local positioning system.

Claim (Index 22):
The system of  claim 21 , wherein the processor instructions for adjusting the field of view of the local positioning system to zoom into the center region of each of the plurality of imaging targets further comprise processor instructions for:\n acquiring a close-up image of the center region of each of the plurality of imaging targets; reading a machine-readable label from the close-up image; and in response to reading the machine-readable label and not being able to decode the machine-readable label into a usable format, capturing an additional first image of a plurality of imaging targets in a non-illuminated state and an additional second image of the plurality of imaging targets in an illuminated state to generate an additional difference image.
