Weaknesses and Speculation
The high cost of optical tracking systems has made this a limited area of research, although with inexpensive CMOS cameras this is becoming more viable and will likely be replacing radar and other lower resolution technologies in the near future.
Leveraging the millions of cameras being developed for Cell Phones, Web Cams, and other applications, CMOS cameras will likely win in short range applications due to costs, even though the visible wavelengths are less optimal.

Famous quotes containing the words weaknesses and, weaknesses and/or speculation:
“Never yield to that temptation, which, to most young men, is very strong, of exposing other people’s weaknesses and infirmities, for the sake either of diverting the company, or of showing your own superiority. You may get the laugh on your side by it for the present; but you will make enemies by it for ever; and even those who laugh with you then, will, upon reflection, fear, and consequently hate you.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“One of the baffling things about life is that the purposes of institutions may be ideal, while their administration, dependent upon the faults and weaknesses of human beings, may be bad.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“There was no speculation so promising, or at the same time so praisworthy, as the United Metropolitan Improved Hot Muffin and Crumpet Baking and Punctual Delivery Company.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
