Patent Number: 11835997 
Title: Systems and Methods for Light Fixture Location Determination 
Abstract: A system for determining a location of a lighting fixture in a venue includes a camera and a controller. The camera captures images of the lighting fixture. The controller is operatively coupled to the camera. The controller designates a first position of the camera, receives a first image of the lighting fixture from the camera in the first position, determines a first distance vector between the first position and the lighting fixture based on the first image, designates a second position of the camera, receives a second image of the lighting fixture from the camera in the second position, determines a second distance vector between the second position and the lighting fixture based on the second image, determines a vector relationship location to be a location nearest both the first distance vector and the second distance vector, and designates the vector relationship location as the location of the lighting fixture.
