Abstract
This paper presents an efficient, robust and fully automatic real-time system for 3D object pose
tracking in image sequences. The developed application integrates two main components: an
extended and optimized implementation of a state-of-the-art local curve fitting algorithm, and a
robust global re-initialization module based on point feature matching. By combining the two main
components, together with a trajectory coherence and image cross-correlation check modules, our
system achieves full automatic and robust object tracking in real world situations, requiring very
small manual intervention from the user. The developed application relies upon a few standard
libraries available on most platforms, and runs at video frame rate on a PC with standard hardware
equipment.
