SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION (RFID) SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
First Claim
1. A system for determining radio frequency identification (RFID) performance, comprising:
- a radio frequency identification (RFID) system comprising at least one antenna and at least one reader configured to receive an RF indication from an RFID tag, the RFID system configured to provide RFID data and an RFID time stamp relating to the at least one antenna;
a motion capture video system comprising at least one camera and a processing system, the motion capture video system also comprising a recognizable element located proximate to the RFID tag, the motion capture video system configured to provide position data relating to the position of the recognizable element and a motion capture time stamp; and
an RFID/motion capture system configured to receive the RFID data and the RFID time stamp from the RFID system, the RFID/motion capture system also configured to receive the position data relating to the position of the recognizable element and the motion capture time stamp from the motion capture video system, the RFID/motion capture system also configured to correlate the RFID data from the RFID system and the position data relating to the position of the recognizable element from the motion capture video system and provide a correlated RFID and motion capture signal.

Abstract
A system for determining radio frequency identification (RFID) performance includes a radio frequency identification (RFID) system comprising at least one antenna and at least one reader configured to receive an RF indication from an RFID tag, the RFID system configured to provide RFID data and an RFID time stamp relating to the at least one antenna. The system also includes a motion capture video system comprising at least one camera and a processing system. The motion capture video system also includes a recognizable element located proximate to the RFID tag, the motion capture video system also configured to provide position data relating to the position of the recognizable element and a motion capture time stamp. The system also includes an RFID/motion capture system configured to receive the RFID data and the RFID time stamp from the RFID system, the RFID/motion capture system also configured to receive the position data relating to the position of the recognizable element and the motion capture time stamp from the motion capture video system. The RFID/motion capture system is also configured to correlate the RFID data from the RFID system and the position data relating to the position of the recognizable element from the motion capture video system and provide a correlated RFID and motion capture signal.
