Abstract

In this paper we present a technique for tracking complex models in video sequences with multiple cameras. Our method uses information derived from image gradient by comparing them with edges of the tracked object, whose 3D model is known. A score function is defined, depending on the amount of image gradient "seen" by the model edges. The sought pose parameters are obtained by maximizing this function using a non deterministic algorithm which proved to be optimal for this problem. Preliminary experiments with both synthetic and real sequences have shown small errors in pose estimations and a good behavior in augmented reality applications.
