This technology is an advanced coordination and scheduling system designed to monitor, track, and predict the motion of distributed objects in various domains, such as air, space, and underwater, through vision-based techniques. The architecture utilizes advanced scheduling systems that assign operational tasks to camera arrays for continuous observation. The schedulers are designed to control an array of multiple camera and computer units to track many moving objects simultaneously. This system continuously prioritizes tasks and assigns cameras to specific tracking goals as new objects are encountered, and is designed to be easily scalable to fit a wide range of applications. This technology is ideal for use detecting and monitoring threats in military and defense applications and performing scientific observation and detection in space exploration applications. Background: Defending against unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms, which are being used increasingly in military applications, requires the ability to detect, track, and predict the motion of many threats at once. The increasing complexity of multi-object observation, especially for unpredictable and rapid movements in space and air environments, demands sophisticated tracking systems capable of managing large amounts of data in real-time. Traditional observation systems can quickly become overwhelmed in high-traffic or swarm scenarios, such as drone swarms in defense contexts or the multitude of objects orbiting Earth. The tracking of many moving objects at once is also becoming increasingly important in the space industry, where space traffic management solutions are becoming necessary. This technology makes it possible to detect, track, and predict the motion of many moving things simultaneously, providing solutions in the aerospace and defense industries. Applications:
