I’m working on a project where I need to be able to represent the positions of multiple, slow moving objects (between 5 and 30) on an X/Y plane (with a size of about 25m X 25m) in an outdoor environment, subject to weather conditions and consistent, very loud, noises. Accuracy to about a few inches will be needed.

Generally, the objects won’t be any further than 1 - 2 meters apart at any given moment. The sensors and transmitters will be placed in an external location and therefore shouldn’t have any limitations due to material interference. Size is a limiting factor, preferably something smaller than around a deck of cards.

I know this is a lot of info, but I wanted to be as thorough as possible.

What do you think would be the best approach to an efficient and affordable solution?

  • You’ve mixed metric and imperial measurements! GNSS might be a solution, especially when using a local source of corrections. – Kartman Oct 12 '22 at 00:18
  • You need to give max speed - and ideally speed profile. – ATCSVOL Oct 12 '22 at 02:25
  • Also, target sizes (width and height), materials and surface finish, and target cost. – ATCSVOL Oct 12 '22 at 02:27
  • `I know this is a lot of info` ... not much, really ... for example, what is the orientation of the XY plane relative to horizontal? ... are these objects crawling on a surface? – jsotola Oct 12 '22 at 05:38
  • Sounds interesting! What sort of objects are they? Can you put things on top of the objects? Do you have a good aerial view of the whole 25m square? How long do you have to track them for? Can we prepare them arbitrarily? "slow moving" -- what's that in numbers? – jonathanjo Oct 12 '22 at 07:31
