Distributed Heterogeneous Tracking for Augmented Reality Using Component Based Software Technologies
This project focuses on the challenges in implementing a framework and
a proof-of-concept prototype for a wide-area, distributed tracking system
consisting of heterogeneous trackers for mobile augmented reality (AR)
systems. The tracking of objects over a wide area is one of the core requirements
for a successful implementation and deployment of mobile augmented reality
systems. In the AR research community, high quality (i.e., accurate and
fast) and wide-area tracking has been identified as one of the challenge
areas in order to create practical mobile AR systems. This research addresses
challenges related to the creation of a interoperable software infrastructure
for distributed tracking, the management of heterogeneous trackers, and
the fusion of their measurements. Specifically, to manage and interoperate
between the existing trackers, we use our on-going work on distributed
component-based software systems, UniFrame. To solve the data fusion problem,
we use the federated Kalman filters and their extensions.
