Abstract

An object tracking system that includes a sensor that is configured to capture frames of at least a portion of a global plane for a space. The system is configured to receive a first frame from the sensor and to identify a first pixel location and a second pixel location within the first frame. The system is further configured to determine (x,y) coordinates by applying a homography to the first pixel location and the second pixel location. The system is further configured to determine an estimated distance between the (x,y) coordinates, to determine an actual distance, and to determine a distance difference between the estimated distance and the actual distance. The system is further configured to compare the distance difference to a difference threshold level and to recompute the homography in response to determining that the distance difference exceeds the difference threshold level.
