e-DTS 2.0: A Next-Generation of a Distributed Tracking System

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / A key component in tracking is identifying relevant data and combining the data in an effort to provide an accurate estimate of both the location and the orientation of an object marker as it moves through an environment. This thesis proposes an enhancement to an existing tracking system, the enhanced
distributed tracking system (e-DTS), in the form of the e-DTS 2.0 and provides an
empirical analysis of these enhancements. The thesis also provides suggestions on future enhancements and improvements. When a Camera identifies an object within its frame of view, it communicates with a JINI-based service in an effort to expose this information to any client who wishes to consume it. This aforementioned communication utilizes the JINI Multicast Lookup Protocol to provide the means for a dynamic discovery of any sensors as they are added or removed from the environment during the tracking process. The client can then retrieve this information from the service and perform a fusion technique in an effort to provide an estimation of the marker's current location with respect to a given coordinate system. The coordinate system handoff and transformation is a key component of the e-DTS 2.0 tracking process as it improves the agility of the
system.
