Abstract

A method of locating a remotely operated vehicle within a workspace includes the steps of: receiving a video feed of the workspace from a video camera; processing the video feed to identify landmarks and features of known physical structures in or near the workspace; determining a correlation between the features and landmarks and known physical structures; calibrating the video feed from the camera to the known physical structures using the correlation; determining the location in the calibrated video feed of a number of fiducial markers on the remotely operated vehicle; and determining the position of the remotely operated vehicle within the workspace using the location of the number of fiducial markers in the calibrated video feed.
