1. A processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to cause a processor to perform a process, the code comprising code to:
- detect a first object within a defined area using a sensor;
produce a position value of the first object based on an indicator from the sensor, the position value including at least two position coordinates and a corresponding time value;
associate the position value of the first object with a queue set when at least a portion of the position value of the first object and at least a portion of a position value of a second object satisfies a queue parameter condition, the position value of the second object including at least two position coordinates and a corresponding time value, the position value of the second object being associated with the queue set, the queue set defining a queue associated with a seed location;
identify a third object as a final object; and
close the queue set for a period of time when at least one of the queue parameter condition or a seed parameter condition is unsatisfied based on a position value of the final object and each track from a plurality of tracks included in the queue set, the position value of the first object being included in a first track from the plurality of tracks, the position value of the second object being included in a second track from the plurality of tracks.

Abstract
Systems and methods that determine a position value of a first object and a position value of a second object, and compare the position value of the first object with the position value of the second object to determine if the second object is in a queue with the first object are provided.

5. A processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to cause a processor to perform a process, the code comprising code to:
-
detect a first object within a defined area using a sensor; produce a position value of the first object based on an indicator from the sensor, the position value including at least two position coordinates and a corresponding time value; associate the position value of the first object with a queue set when at least a portion of the position value of the first object and at least a portion of a position value of a second object satisfies a queue parameter condition, the position value of the second object including at least two position coordinates and a corresponding time value, the position value of the second object being associated with the queue set, the queue set defining a queue associated with a seed location; and include a position value associated with a third object in the queue set when the queue parameter condition is satisfied based on a calculated value, the calculated value being based on the position value associated with the third object and at least one of the position value of the first object or the position value of the second object. - View Dependent Claims (6)

10. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a tracking system configured to detect, using a sensor, a first object within a defined area, the tracking system being configured to produce a position value of the first object based on an indicator from the sensor, the position value being included in a track of the first object, the position value including at least two position coordinates and a corresponding time value; and a processor system configured to associate the track of the object with a queue set when at least a portion of the position value of the first object and at least a portion of a position value of a second object satisfies a queue parameter condition, the position value of the second object being included in the queue set, the queue set defining a queue associated with a seed location, the processor system configured to associate a position value associated with a third object in the queue set when the queue parameter condition is satisfied based on a calculated value, the calculated value being based on the position value associated with the third object and at least one of the position value of the first object or the position value of the second object. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)

14. A processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to cause a processor to perform a process, the code comprising code to:
-
detect, using a sensor, a first object within a defined area; produce a position value of the first object based on an indicator from the sensor, the position value including at least two position coordinates and a corresponding time value; receive a position value of a second object associated with a beginning of a queue, the position value of the second object being included in a queue set, the queue set defining a queue associated with a seed location; associate the position value of the first object with the queue set when at least a portion of the position value of the first object and at least a portion of a position value of a second object satisfies a queue parameter condition; and include a position value associated with a third object in the queue set when the queue parameter condition is satisfied based on a calculated value, the calculated value being based on the position value associated with the third object and at least one of the position value of the first object or the position value of the second object. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 20)
