TRACAB Optical accuracy Vicon reference system +/-1mm, Vicon accuracy better then 5mm at 20m distance.
Vicon reference system:, a millimeter accurate tracking system using infrared reflection of small reflective balls Limited in range to about 20meter for outdoors mainly because of illumination issues

Tracab +/- 30cm:optical tracking systems
  • non-intrusive solution to track both players and ball (no physical intervention by technical equipment)
  • no data loss due to sensor failure since data can always be restored from video footage.
  • data loss occur by obfuscation between players and for the ball mostly around the goal area. alleviated by placement of 10+ camera's around the field driving up cost
  • accuracy decreases with distance where 70m is a practical limit for sub 20cm accuracy.

  • ZXY LPS accuracy +/- 60cm: EPTS (Electronic performance and tracking systems)
  • 1
