Tracking Competition

For additional information please see the program overview.

Watch five Teams battle for first place on 27 and 28 October.

 

The ISMAR Tracking-Competition - now four years running - aims to stimulate the development of state-of-the-art tracking technologies by providing a fair means of comparison in a suitable AR scenario. Participants score points for correctly picking objects in areas of varying difficulties.

 

Team 1: FAR, Technische Universität München, Germany

Frieder Pankratz

Fusion of an optical SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) based approach using a camera on a mobile device and a smart-phone based optical outside-in tracking system.

 

Team 2: Millennium Three Engineering, Canada

Mark Fiala

Fiducial marker tracking throughout the tracking environment using a partially offline 3D registration process and online pose filtering and fusion with an inertial measurement unit.

 

Team 3: VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and Aalto University - School of Science, Finland

Alain Boyer, Petri Honkamaa, Tuomas Kantonen, Otto Korkalo, Timo Tossavainen

Client-server framework based tracking setup using iterative feature-based tracking and target visualization on the mobile client side and pose initialization and recovery on the server side. 

 

Team 4: Dept. of Virtual and Augmented Reality, Fraunhofer IGD, Germany

Harald Wuest, Mario Becker, Folker Wientapper

Streaming tracking system with mobile phone (image acquisition and visualization) and laptop (tracking and rendering). Optical flow based (KLT) feature tracking (frame-by-frame) using a SLAM approach for geometry acquisition.

 

Team 5: metaio GmbH, Germany

Thomas Olszamowski

Junaio framework featuring visual 3D markerless tracking running exclusively on a mobile device with support by built-in inertial sensors. Offline learning of an environment map with a marker-based approach which is extended online using a SLAM framework.
