  • Patent number: 11682297
    Abstract: Systems and methods for tracking objects though a traffic control system include an image sensor configured to capture a stream of images of scene from an associated real-world position, an object tracker configured to identify an object in the captured images and define an associated object location in the captured images, a three-dimensional stage model system configured to transform the associated object location in the image to three-dimensional coordinates associated with the image sensor, and a three-dimensional world model configured to transform identified objects to real-world coordinates. Embodiments use lens aberration, sensor mounting height and location, accelerometer, gyro-compass and/or global position satellite information to generate a situational map.
