Camera tracking is an essential building block in a myriad of HCI applications. For example,
commercial VR devices are equipped with dedicated hardware, such as laser-emitting …

The goal of this article is to review the state-of-the-art tracking methods, classify them into
different categories, and identify new trends. Object tracking, in general, is a challenging …

There is a large variety of trackers, which have been proposed in the literature during the
last two decades with some mixed success. Object tracking in realistic scenarios is a difficult …

In Augmented Reality (AR), a user can see a virtual world as well as the real world. The
user's pose in both worlds should be exactly the same to avoid the registration problem …

In this paper we introduce an architecture for rapid development and assessment of
advanced 3D visual tracking algorithms. We claim, that no universal tracking approach …

Real-time tracking algorithms often suffer from low accuracy and poor robustness when
confronted with difficult, real-world data. We present a tracker that combines 3D shape, color …

Illumination variation often occurs in visual tracking, which has a severe impact on the
system performance. Many trackers based on Discriminative correlation filter (DCF) have …

This thesis presents a new way to conceptualize and study image registration based visual
trackers by decomposing them into three constituent sub modules-search method …

For Augmented Reality to succeed in industrial appliances, industries demand not only
robust and reliable tracking techniques, but also a scalable and performant pipeline, that is …
