Abstract

In this paper a 3D tracking system for Virtual Environments is presented which utilizes infrared (IR) laser technology. Invisible laser patterns are projected from the user(s) to the screen via the input device Sceptre or the appending headtracking device. IR-sensible cameras which are placed near the projectors in a backprojection setup recognize the pattern. That way position and orientation of the input devices is reconstructed. The infrared laser is not seen by human eye and therefore does not disturb the immersion.

Large-scale three-dimensional measurement based on LED marker tracking

This paper presents a three-dimensional (3-D) measurement method of large-scale objects by integrating a 3-D scanner and a stereo tracker. To measure a large-scale object, some high-brightness light-emitting diode (LED) lights are rigidly connected to ...
A camera model for cameras with hypercentric lenses and some example applications
Abstract
We propose a camera model for cameras with hypercentric lenses. Because of their geometry, hypercentric lenses allow to image the top and the sides of an object simultaneously. This makes them useful for certain inspections tasks, for which ...
Hand-Eye Camera Calibration with an Optical Tracking System
