Workshop on tracking methods & applications

The focus of this workshop is on all issues related to tracking for mixed and augmented reality applications. Unlike the tracking sessions of the main conference, this workshop does not require pure novelty of the proposed methods; it rather encourages presentations that concentrate on complete systems and integrated approaches engineered to run in real-world scenarios. The research felds covered include self-localization using computer vision or other sensing modalities (such as depth cameras, GPS, inertial, etc.) and tracking systems issues (such as system design, calibration, estimation, fusion, etc.). This year's focus is also expanded to research on object detection and semantic scene understanding with relevance to augmented reality. Implementations on mobile devices and under real-time constraints are also part of the workshop focus. These are issues of core importance for practical augmented reality systems.
