Method and system for tracking position of an object using imaging and non-imaging surveillance devices
First Claim
1. A method for tracking the position of an object, comprising the steps of:
- receiving, at a non-imaging surveillance device of known location, a transmission from the object, said transmission being used to determine the coordinate position of the object within a given time period;
capturing image data for the object at an imaging surveillance device of known location to provide an image of the object within said given time period;
correlating said coordinate position with said image to provide composite data about the object within said given time period; and
displaying the composite data to a viewer as a visual depiction of the object.

Abstract
A method and system for tracking the position of objects, such as aircraft and ground vehicles around an airport. A transmission from the object is received at a non-imaging surveillance device of known location, the transmission being used to determine the coordinate position of the object within a given time period. Image data for the object is captured by an imaging surveillance device of known location to provide an image of the object within the same given time period. The coordinate position is correlated with the image to provide composite data about the object within the same given time period. The composite data is displayed to a viewer as a visual depiction of the object.

25. A system for tracking the position of an object, comprising:
-
means for receiving, at a non-imaging surveillance device of known location, a transmission from the object; means for determining, based on said received transmission, the coordinate position of the object within a given time period; means for capturing image data for the object at an imaging surveillance device of known location to provide an image of the object within said given time period; means for correlating said coordinate position with said image to provide composite data about the object within said given time period; and means for displaying the composite data to a viewer as a visual depiction of the object. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48)

49. A method for tracking the position of an object, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving, at a plurality of non-imaging surveillance devices of known location, a transmission from the object, said transmission being used to determine the coordinate position of the object within a given time period; correlating the transmission received at each of said non-imaging surveillance devices with the transmission received at each of the other of said non-imaging surveillance devices within said given time period; capturing image data for the object at a plurality of imaging surveillance devices of known location to provide images of the object within said given time period; correlating the image received at each of said imaging surveillance devices with the image received at each of the other of said imaging surveillance devices within said given time period; correlating said coordinate position with said images to provide composite data about the object within said given time period; and displaying the composite data to a viewer as a visual depiction of the object.

50. A system for tracking the position of an object, comprising:
-
means for receiving, at a plurality of non-imaging surveillance devices of known location, a transmission from the object; means for correlating the transmission received at each of said non-imaging surveillance devices with the transmission received at each of the other of said non-imaging surveillance devices within a given time period; means for determining, based on the correlated transmissions, the coordinate position of the object within said given time period; means for capturing image data for the object at a plurality of imaging surveillance devices of known location to provide images of the object within said given time period; means for correlating the image received at each of said imaging surveillance devices with the image received at each of the other of said imaging surveillance devices within said given time period; means for correlating said coordinate position with said images to provide composite data about the object within said given time period; and means for displaying the composite data to a viewer as a visual depiction of the object.
