Intra-sensor relative positioning
First Claim
1. A system for determining relative position information comprising:
- a plurality of positioning devices for determining relative position data within a three-dimensional space, each positioning device having a line of sight, and wherein the relative position data determined via each positioning device comprises relative position data with respect to the positioning device for each other positioning device within its line of sight;
a plurality of imaging devices for obtaining image data of an object within the three-dimensional space; and
a computing device configured to correlate the relative position data determined via the plurality of positioning devices and the image data obtained via the plurality of imaging devices to thereby determine relative position information corresponding to the object within the three-dimensional space, wherein, based on a movement of a given positioning device of the plurality of positioning devices, the computing device is configured to determine, via each other positioning device within the line of sight of the given positioning device, updated relative position data for the given positioning device with respect to the other positioning device.

Abstract
An example system for determining relative position information includes a plurality of positioning devices for determining relative position data within a three-dimensional space, each positioning device having a line of sight. The relative position data determined via each positioning device includes relative position data with respect to the positioning device for each other positioning device within its line of sight. The system further includes a plurality of imaging devices for obtaining image data of an object within the three-dimensional space. The system also includes a computing device configured to correlate the relative position data determined via the plurality of positioning devices and the image data obtained via the plurality of imaging devices, to thereby determine relative position information corresponding to the object within the three-dimensional space.
