Real-time tracking of a person using a vision based localisation system

This video shows a person (me) using a walking frame being localised from an unknown starting position and tracked using a particle filter (blue dots). For sensing, the system uses a panoramic mirror and webcam setup, which provides a 360 degrees field of view. A previously acquired 3D environmental model is used to estimate the pose (position and orientation) by matching from the webcam images with those in the virtual world.

thanks :) Yeah, it's not obvious what's happening at the start. Maybe some annotation would have helped.

this is quite cool, at first I didn't know that the main image was actually rendering in-game on a computer, and you were directing the in-game person, so to speak, with a walking frame in real life

that's AWESOME man :D

pretty neat video. Unfortunately much of this type of implementation has been kept from the open source community and is only for big businesses interested in purchasing the source.
