Abstract

The present invention relates to an improved system and method for target motiontracking, that reduces the computational resources required, by providing for the dynamic control of the activation of targets. The present invention is comprised of a system for use in dynamically tracking the movement of a subject. A plurality of active targets are located on the subject at positions of movement of the subject. At least one camera is arranged for viewing the subject, wherein each of the at least one camera outputs a video signal. A computer receives the video signal of each and processes each video signal by means of an algorithm program to produce a control signal. A control unit is connected to the computer and to the plurality of active targets and receives the control signal and processes it to produce activation signals for selectively activating ones or groups of active targets so that the computer means can efficiently determine the movement of the active targets and thereby determine the movement of the subject
