  • Patent number: 11393101
    Abstract: A system and method for tracking a position node for one or more moving objects, the tracking including scanning for one or more moving objects, detecting one or more moving objects, creating a temporary position node around one or more detected moving objects, searching a node pool for an existing position node nearby the temporary position node, setting a timer for the existing position node that is nearby the temporary position node, the timer has a predetermined time limit, and for a temporary position node that is not nearby an existing position node, creating a new position node that is added to the node pool and setting a timer associated with the new position node, the timer associated with the new position node has a predetermined time limit.

  • Patent number: 10869149
    Abstract: A system and method for calibrating a baseline parameter for a speaker pair, the calibrating includes activating a plurality of light sources one-by-one on a slave in the speaker pair, detecting light points at a detection set on a master in the speaker pair, creating a detected pattern of light points, comparing the detected pattern to a database of calibration patterns, determining a relative angle and distance between the master and the slave, calculating the baseline parameter using the determined distance and relative angle.

  • Patent number: 10863085
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a camera system includes a first camera that has a first camera angle of view and a second camera that has a second camera angle of view. The first camera is positioned and oriented to have a first coverage area and the second camera is positioned and oriented to have a second coverage area that at least partially overlaps the first coverage area. An angle between a center axis of the first camera angle of view and a center axis of the second camera angle of view exceeds the first camera angle of view.
