Abstract
The present disclosure provides improved determinism in systems and methods for wireless communications via real-time visual object tracking using radio, video, and range finding. In one example, a first and a second Access Point (AP) in a constellation in which the APs are positioned at knowns position in the environment, and the APs perform image processing to identify an entity the environment based on captured images and an entity definition. The APs receive, via range finders, ranges between the entity and the first and second APs to determine a location of the entity in the environment. The APs may then create a profile for the entity that includes an entity identifier, the location of the entity, and indicates whether one of the first AP and the second AP is in wireless communication with the entity.
