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:
“A pretty little collection of weaknesses and a terror of spiders are our indispensable stock-in-trade with the men.”
—Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)
“Like most vigorous-minded men, seeing that there was no stopping-place between dogma and negation, he preferred to accept dogma. Of all weaknesses he most disliked timed and half-hearted faith. He would rather have jumped at once to Strong’s pure denial, than yield an inch to the argument that a mystery was to be paltered with because it could not be explained.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“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)
