A method for counting spatially arranged, moving markers (120 – 127) wherein said markers (120 – 127) are arranged to move along a movement axis (100) being parallel to a sensors axis (150) of sensors (142 – 146) configured to detect said markers (120 – 127) during movement. According to the method the number of sensors is lower than the number of markers in order to decrease the cost of the sensors system. Further, the present system supports stacks having objects, associated with said markers, of different sizes (e.g. weight plates of increasing height) and/or different weights.

The present invention is directed to unmanned vehicle (UV) systems and methods. A method may include capturing data with at least one UV proximate an area of interest. The method may also include processing the data at a computing device. In addition, the method may include at least storing the processed data, sharing the processed data with another device, combining the processed data with related historical data, developing a model based at least partially on the processed data, determining at least one future task to be performed by the UV based at least partially on the processed data, or any combination thereof.

3-D views of a 2-D image containing objects are provided by simulation of inter-object volume and intra-object volume. Intra-object volume is simulated by defining a plurality of volumetric slices from the object and assigning relative volume values to each. Multiple views of the object are simulated by displacing each slice in accordance with the defined volumetric effect as part of an animation sequence simulating progressive movement about a focus point of the object.
