[team AVatAR] PTAM on android phone (Implement Tracking)

Parallel Tracking And Mapping on Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S)
Made by team AVatAR (computer engineering, kookmin univ, korea)

The team AVatAR (Android Vision at Augmented Reality) belongs to Graphics lab in Kookmin University.
We did the project that markerless AR based on Android.

KIST (Korea Institute of Science and Technology) helped us by summer internship.

We just ported simple map initializer and tracker without map manager.
We will add map manager soon.

Summer intern advisor : Dr. Jae-In Hwang, Min-Hyuk Sung
Advisor : Prof. Kim Junho
Team leader : Park Dong-il
Team member : Lee yongjae, Lee jinwoo, Jung seyoon

Any reason why it appear slower than the original iPhone version?

@taquilo

the iPhone version is developed on more improved algorithm and optimized that single core smart phone.

see the [2009 ISMAR] "Parallel Tracking and Mapping on a Camera Phone".

we just ported PC version PTAM code to Android phone. (it's needed 2.4GHz Dual Core processor)

but we found some methods that work fast on android phone.

please expect next version

This is impressive. Did you change the stereo initialisation from a RANSAC homography fit to something less intensive?

[TheBoxil]

@julian440

No,

Did not changed.

hi,

looks really awsome.

is this package still being developed? where can i get more information about it?

[TheBoxil]

@TheArchigadgets

hi,

thank you for interesting on our project.

PTAM on android phone project still being development.

it's just implemented simple tracker version.(without map manager)

and actually our code is almost same with orignal PTAM code

hi, how far is the developement? dide the performance for android increse?

and will the source code be free for use? because i would love to make applications with this on android phones !

[taquilo]

@TheBoxil That makes sense. Thanks! I wasn't aware of the ISMAR 2009 paper. I look forward to your new results.

hi, it's really interesting project.

what are the smarth phone requierments to run this program??

look forward to see your progess

[julian440]

@TheBoxil

Thanks. Looking forward to seeing this progress. Seeing the performance on a dual core phone would be interesting.

Are you planning on releasing the code? If so, do you know roughly when?
