| | ShouldExist Modulated Laser Pointer w/Camera Tracking |
| | As of now, the performance of the system is unknown, but we will build it, and it will definitely work for only a few simultaneous users with a tracking frequency of 100 Hz or more. | | | If the laser output power is modulated in the neighborhood of perhaps 10 hertz, then it would be trivial to pick out the pointer from a digitized video input using simple time-filters. | | | If the laser is given a very short duty cycle modulation (maybe it's only powered 1 in 10 frames), then even a user viewing the raw video would probably be entirely unable to detect it, and what laser power is there could be fairly easily filtered out. |

| | Physics Dynamics in Motion Tracking |
| | Human motion tracking from a single camera video sequence is both an interesting and hard vision problem. | | | First, video is the primary archival source for human motion data, ranging from television sports coverage, to the dancing and action sequences from Hollywood movies; however, these invaluable assets to computer vision and animation are currently locked deep inside the archive because we do not have any effective means to extract them. | | | [x] write a tracking program (in matlab) that accepts a movie and the specified sub-window (as object) and output a movie with the object tracked. |

| | Motion tracking using image-texture templates - US Patent 6529613 |
| | In ambiguous cases it is not important how motion estimation in video coding resolves the ambiguity but it is critical how the position location method of the present invention resolves the ambiguity. | | | Reliable tracking data is necessary in order to calculate transform models that adjust an intended insertion to the proper size and perspective prior to insertion of an image in each new image frame. | | | Motion estimation has limited accuracy, often to 1/2 pixel, due to computational and coding requirements associated with increased accuracy. |

| | Patent 4905315: Camera tracking movable transmitter apparatus |
| | The present invention is intended primarily as an accessory assembly for video recorder cameras or camcorders to provide automated tracking and recording assemblies for recreational use, instructional use, security systems, institutional uses, and military, commercial, and industrial applications. | | | That apparatus is capable of tracking an object that positively or negatively contrasts with the background of the object and does not use a discrete transmitter as does the present invention. | | | The invention is particularly suitable for use with video cameras and camcorders although those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention may also be used with a conventional movie picture camera. |

| | 3-D Tracking/Match-Moving - Andersson Technologies LLC |
| | "Camera tracking" or "Match-moving" or "3-D Tracking" is the process of analyzing a video clip or film shot to determine where in 3-D the camera went, what its field of view was, and where parts of the set were. | | | Usually the tracking features are hand tracked off tiny details on the face and head. | | | For a higher probability of success, you want the shot to encompass the presenter from a distance, so that tracking marks can be seen not only on the back wall, but on the floor and possibly side walls, depending on camera motion. |

| | Motion tracking |
| | The output of the tracking procedure is the sequence of transformations (the data layer) generated for a continuous range of video frames. | | | The tracking procedure then estimates interframe transformations to obtain the closest possible fit to the real object motion in the source video over for a number of frames in the forward [ B ] and backward [ C ] directions from the key frame. | | | Before tracking can be started, the user needs to select one frame as a key frame and create (draw) a mask [ A ] in order to specify an object (or a region) the motion of which is to be tracked. |
