Positional Tracking for vast open spaces?
Hi People I'm currently doing some research on positional tracking. I didn't know if there were any people on the forum who really have extensive knowledge on the matter? What it is I'm actually l...

But the like the QR codes the LED dots on the hard hat are of known dimensions so as long as one camera keep track of you the angle, orientation and distance to the camera can be calculated.
I should correct myself here, even with a zoom lens the depth data from a single camera as triangulating from width of the head at distance small angles lead to larger movements. So two cameras would be needed for that method at range.
A laser would of course give very good depth data from allowing full position tracking from a single tripod. But I would expect difficulties when adapting surveyor instruments as they where not designed for tracking moving targets.
Just saw this video on another thread. Radio based positional tracking I am very impressed.
