Abstract
An object detection and tracking system to identify an object of interest and to determine the location of the object within an area. The system includes a processing unit, a visual image system, a thermal image system, and a location mapping system. The visual image system is positioned relative to an area to capture a visual image of at least a portion of the area. The thermal image system is positioned relative to the area to capture a thermal image of at least a portion of the area concurrently with capture of the visual image to cooperatively identify an object in the area. The at least portion of the area captured in the thermal image conforms to the at least portion of the area captured in the visual image. The location mapping system is positioned relative to the area to determine a location of the object in the area.
