TrakMark 2012 - International Workshop on Benchmark Test Schemes for AR/MR Geometric Registration and Tracking Method (TrakMark)

In the research fields of Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR), tracking and registration methods are still one of the most important topics. The tracking research field is highly active, and numerous methods appear on a regular basis. The TrakMark working group (WG) was established 2009 to create a benchmark test that permits objective and accurate evaluation of the tracking methods. This year, the workshop will cover a wide range of topics concerning AR/MR registration, tracking and benchmarking. Key areas include, but are not limited to:
Comparison and evaluation of geometric registration and tracking methods
Suggestion of new benchmarking scheme
Vision-based camera pose estimation, camera localization
Visual SLAM, structure from motion, camera calibration, sensor fusion
Feature tracking, feature detection, feature description, object tracking
Survey of tracking papers
