IGD 98: robust optical tracking

Fraunhofer IGD 98: a number of optical markers (prior to the existence of the AR-toolkit, but later than work by State et al at UNC) are placed in a scene and tracked in a doll-house-like setup. The camera undergoes increasingly rapid movements. An augmented grid and wall show the robustness of the algorithm, dealing with the appearance and disappearance of various optical markers in the field of view of the camera.
Work by G. Klinker, D. Stricker and D. Reiners - at the time at Fraunhofer IGD http://www.igd.fhg.de/igd-a4/
This is the technical basis of the tracking system that was used in the German ARVIKA project http://www.arvika.de

This is part of a video that was shown by G. Klinker at the Siggraph'99 panel "Mixed Reality: Where Real and Virtual Worlds Meet", organized by Steve Feiner.
