Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel approach for real-time 3-D tracking of object pose from a single camera. We formulate the 3-D pose tracking task in a Bayesian framework which fuses feature correspondence information from both previous frame and some selected key-frames into the posterior distribution of pose. We also developed an inter-frame motion inference algorithm which can get reliable inter-frame feature correspondences and relative pose. Finally, the maximum a posteriori estimation of pose is obtained via stochastic sampling to achieve stable and drift-free tracking. Experiments show significant improvement of our algorithm over existing algorithms especially in the cases of tracking agile motion, severe occlusion, drastic illumination change, and large object scale change
