Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In order to insert a virtual object into a TV image, the graphics system needs to know precisely how the camera is moving, so that the virtual object can be rendered in the correct place in every frame. Nowadays this can be achieved relatively easily in postproduction, or in a studio equipped with a special tracking system. However, for live shooting on location, or in a studio that is not specially equipped, installing such a system can be difficult or uneconomic. To overcome these limitations, the MATRIS project is developing a real-time system for measuring the movement of a camera. The system uses image analysis to track naturally occurring features in the scene, and data from an inertial sensor. No additional sensors, special markers, or camera mounts are required. This paper gives an overview of the system and presents some results.

Editorial for the special issue on markerless real-time tracking for augmented reality image synthesis

Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Augmented reality is a growing field, with many diverse applications ranging from TV and film production, to industrial maintenance, medicine, education, entertainment and games. The central idea is to add virtual objects into a real scene, either by displaying them in a see-through head-mounted display, or by superimposing them on an image of the scene captured by a camera. Depending on the application, the added objects might be virtual characters in a TV or film production, instructions for repairing a car engine, or a reconstruction of an archaeological site. For the effect to be believable, the virtual objects must appear rigidly fixed to the real world, which requires the accurate measurement in real-time of the position of the camera or the user-s head. Present technology cannot achieve this without resorting to systems that require a significant infrastructure in the operating environment, severely restricting the range of possible applications.
