A new optical tracking system for virtual and augmented reality applications

Abstract
A new stereo vision tracker setup for virtual and augmented real- ity applications is presented in this paper. Performance, robustness and ac- curacy of the system are achieved under real-time constraints. The method is based on blobs extraction, two-dimensional prediction, the epipolar con- straint 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.
