Abstract

3-D tracking of free-moving objects has to deal with brightness variations pronounced by the shape of the tracked surface. Pixel-based tracking techniques, though versatile, are particularly affected by such variations. Here, we evaluate two illumination-adaptive methods for a novel efficient pixel-based 3-D tracking approach. Brightness adaption by means of an illumination basis is compared to with a template update strategy with respect to both robustness and accuracy on tracking in 6 degrees-of-freedom.
