Project Title:
    Object Tracking System Through Sensor Fusion

Abstract:
    Recent advancements in sensor fusion, miniaturization, and low powered
    electrical products have lead to the ability to design and create devices that
    were once only dreamed of. Such products as the global positioning system
    (GPS) and virtual reality gesture recognition systems are examples of these
    new advances. Between these products there remains a need for a miday tracking
    device, a system that tracks the position of an object to within centimeters
    rather than millimeters or meters, in a closed area rather than a global open
    space. It has been proposed that an object tracking system be designed in
    order to fill this gap in position tracking. This system will collect data on
    the position of an object, process the data, and then aim a pointing device at
    the object. For the purpose of producing a prototype the tracker device will
    be a pin spotlight with accurate azimuth and pitch control motors, which will
    track a small sensor.
