Abstract

In industrial manufacturing processes, targets for infrared marker based tracking have to be robust and must integrate into the tools without disturbing the work flow. In this paper, we propose cylindrical markers attached directly to the tool. We show that, targets equipped with cylindrical markers can be tracked with about the same precision as targets equipped with spherical markers, if a correction for the reduced symmetry is applied. Additionally, the markers can be placed on different parts of a tool with a flexible connection, which is also considered in this paper.
