Abstract

In this paper, we describe a novel algorithm to group, label, identify and perform optical tracking of marker sets, which are grouped into two specific configurations, and whose projective invariant properties will allow obtaining a unique identification for each predefined marker pattern. These configurations are formed by 4 collinear and 5 coplanar markers. This unique identification is used to correctly recognize various and different marker patterns inside the same tracking area, in real time. The algorithm only needs image coordinates of markers to perform the identification of marker patterns. For grouping the dispersed markers that appear in the image, the algorithm uses a "divide and conquer" strategy to segment the image and give some neighborhood reference among markers.
