Ltrack

Keywords: Augmented reality - Visual tracking

Functional Description: The Inria development action LTrack aims at developing an Android platform in order to facilitate the transfer of some of our algorithms onto mobile devices. For the moment, the tracking-by-synthesis algorithm has been implemented (up to our knowledge, for the first time on a mobile device) in order to rigidly track a real object in real time assuming that a CAD model of this object is available. The design and implementation of the platform have been guided by the need to enable easy integration of any tracking algorithm based on combining video data and other sensor information.

News Of The Year: A recovery procedure based on key-frames has been designed when the number of inliers tracked keypoints is too small.
