"Datapoint"
http://www.stchas.edu/faculty/gcarlson/physics/datapoint.htm
runs on consumer-grade workstations, cranks out
data (Timestamp, Xpos, Ypos) fairly fast, and has
the significant competitive advantage of being free
to any member of the intelligentsia playing with
artificial intelligence.
Uh oh - does that make us all
"artificial intelligentsia"? :)
This is not mil-spec stuff, so it will want an easy-to-acquire
"target" that stands out in the crowd. You will likely be
forced to mark your foragers.
I've played with it, and it can keep up with my Welsh Corgi
wearing a day-glo orange collar while "herding" my neighbor's
cattle at 200+ yards, so it should do fine tracking a marked
bee at 6 inches.
