3D video tracking
| Organization: | EPFL (Swiss federal institute of technology Lausanne), 1015, CH |
| I.P. Brief: | key point and non-rigid surface tracker for augmented reality applications. The software allows the tracking of 3D objects perceived through a monocular camera without requiring complex and costly stereographic sensors. |
| Summary of I.P.: | This software is designed to detect and recognize feature points in images under varying perspective and light condition changes. It is designed so that the detection and recognition is sufficiently fast to be used in real-time applications. Furthermore, it can also compute the 3D pose of a planar object from the recognized keypoints. |
