Welcome to the homepage of the tracking team

Our task:

tracking markers (received from the detection team), calculate the viewers head position and send this data to the visualisation team

Current status:

• Functional detection algorithm: Detects markers and tracks them on a quicktime video. Console output of coordinates.
  Strategy: Restricting the searching area by drawing boxes around the markers, in which is searched in the next frame
• Added more intelligence to the detection algorithm: the searching area is determined by interpolating the "movement" of the markers
• First implementation of a DWARF service, which should get marker data from detection team, tracks markers, calculates head position and forward data to the visualisation team :: HAS TO BE TESTED AND DEBUGGED
• Adjusted version of detection algorithm according to the ooP paradigma: HAS TO BE TESTED AND DEBUGGED

Unresolved tasks:

• Calculating head position (3D coordinates) out of 2D marker data
• Data exchange between detection team an us :: question of interfaces
