A new Optical Tracking System for Virtual and Augmented Reality Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new stereo vision tracker setup for virtual and augmented reality applications is presented in this paper. Performance, robustness and accuracy of the system are achieved under real-time constraints. The method is based on blobs extraction, two-dimensional prediction, the epipolar constraint and three-dimensional reconstruction. Experimental results using a stereo rig setup (equipped with IR capabilities) and retroreflective targets are presented to demonstrate the capabilities of our optical tracking system. The system tracks up to 25 independent targets at 30 Hz.

Optical tracking systems allow three-dimensional input for virtual environment applications with high precision and without annoying cables. Spontaneous and intuitive interaction is possible through gestures. In this paper, we present a finger tracker that allows gestural interaction and is simple, cheap, fast, robust against occlusion and accurate. It is based on a marked glove, a stereoscopic...
متن کاملDesign, Prototypical Implementation and Testing of a Real-Time Optical Feature Tracker DWARF: Distributed Wearable Augmented Reality Framework
Augmented Reality is a new technology that aims at combining real and virtual environments by means of usually visual augmentation using head mounted displays. Virtual objects projected into the display delude the user into believing that they are fixed at real objects and even can interact with the latter. The DWARF project is conducted at the Chair for Applied Software Engineering of the Tech...
متن کاملReal-Time and Markerless Vision-Based Tracking for Outdoor Augmented Reality Applications
In this paper, a new concept for markerless optical tracking called “tracking with reference images” is introduced . This concept provides a flexible and praticable framework and is especially relevant for outdoor augmented-reality applications, for which no tracking solution currently exists. The implementation is achieved using an image matching technique, which compares the current live vide...
