A method for positional analysis, comprising the steps of: receiving, from a user device, location information indicating a location of the user device; identifying a location of at least one reference target; determining at least one intended location of the user device by applying a structure model to the location of the, or each, reference target; determining a difference between the, or each, intended location and the location of the user device; determining a first result indicating whether the difference meets a threshold distance of a predefined threshold rule; determining a second result indicating whether the predefined threshold rule is satisfied based at least in part on the first result; and in response, communicating an instruction to the user device indicating that the predefined threshold rule is satisfied, and associated system and device.

A mobile camera system includes a camera affixed to a drone, a video transmitter that wirelessly transmits a video feed outputted by the camera, and At least one tracking tag that wirelessly transmits a location signal receivable by a tracking system to determine a drone position and a drone orientation of the drone. A local controller, also affixed to the drone, is configured to (a) wireless receive, from a camera controller, movement instructions derived from the drone position and the drone orientation, and (b) control the drone position and the drone orientation, based on the movement instructions, such that the camera maintains a perspective view of an object. The tracking system receives location signals to determine the drone position and object position. The camera controller determines movement instructions, based on the drone and object positions, and wirelessly communicates the movement instructions to the mobile camera system.

A method for using tracking tags to control mobile cameras to determine and capture desired perspective views of objects of interest (OOIs), includes locating each OOI and determining an orientation of each OOI. A second location of each mobile camera is determined with an orientation of each mobile camera; the method includes controlling, based upon the first and second location, and the orientations, the mobile camera to maintain desired perspective views of the OOIs despite movement of the OOIs. The method executes on a system for controlling a mobile camera including tracking tags configured with each OOI and tracking tags configured with the mobile cameras. A tracking apparatus having at least three receivers positioned around an operational area receives locate signals from the tracking tags to determining location data and a processor determines movement plans for the mobile cameras.
