Abstract
Many problems in computer vision and augmented reality (AR) require the estimation
of the pose of objects or mobile users in real-time. While reliable solutions have been
proposed for pose estimation given correspondences and feature-based 3D tracking, fast
and fully automated initialization for tracking, i.e. estimation of the initial pose is still an
open problem. The difficulty stems from the need for fast and robust detection of known
objects in the scene. This dissertation presents a fast and automated object detection
and pose estimation system capable of working with large amounts of background clutter,
severe occlusions, and strong viewpoint and scale changes.
The thesis builds upon existing algorithms introduced in the last few years and devel-
ops various novel techniques which significantly improve both time and functional perfor-
mance for detection and pose estimation. The advances can be summarized as two main
contributions.
First, a method for a scalable, statistical and compact representation of the object
of interest is introduced based on fusion of 3D geometric and appearance information.
This is achieved during an offline learning process by a statistical analysis and evaluation
of distinctive features of the target object. This representation is then used at run-time
during the matching and pose estimation processes to limit the number of hypothesis by
incorporating both photometric and 3D geometric consistency constraints. This allows
to reduce the effect of the complexity of the 3D model on the run-time performance and
makes the method especially for large environments very powerful.
Thesecondcontributionconsistsofanovelsensorfusionframeworkforposeestimation
based on a coarse to fine strategy capable of incorporating multiple sensors, e.g. mobile
and stationary cameras. This relies on a statistical analysis, probabilistic estimation and
fusion of the uncertainties of the sensors.
Furthermore, this system is integrated into an AR tracking framework for the initial-
ization of a marker-less real-time tracking system, which proves to be fast and reliable
enough for industrial AR applications.
iZusammenfassung
Viele Probleme in der Computer Vision und erweiterter Realit¨at (AR) ben¨otigen die
Berechnung derPositionundOrientierung vonObjektenodermobilen BenutzerninEcht-
zeit. W¨ahrendhierfur¨ vielepr¨aziseTrackingsystemeindenletztenJahrenhinwegentwick-
elt wurden, bleibt schnelle und v¨ollig automatisierte Initialisierung und Reinitialisierung
der Systeme noch ein offenes Problem. Die Hauptschwierigkeit is eine schnelle und ro-
buste Detektion der schon bekannten Objekte aus der Szene. Diese Dissertation stellt
ein schnelles, v¨ollig automatisiertes und vor allem skalierbares Objekdetektionssystem
vor, welches im Stande ist, mit starken Blickwinkel- und Skalierungsan¨ derungen, partielle
Verdeckungen und grossen Mengen von Hintergrundclutter zurecht zu kommen.
Die Arbeit baut auf bereits vorhandene Algorithmen auf, die in den letzten Jahren
eingefu¨hrt wurden, und schl¨agt verschiedene neue Methoden vor, die sowohl die Zeit-,
als auch die funktionelle Performance entscheidend verbessern. Die Weiterentwicklungen
beinhalten unter anderem eine skalierbare und statistische Objektrepr¨asentation, die auf
einer Fusion der 3-dimnsionalen Form und Erscheinungsmodelle basiert, ein Sensorfusion-
ssystem, das verschiende Sensoren integriert, und ein Tracking Management System, das
gezeigt hat, dass es fu¨r industrielle AR Anwendungen schnell und verl¨asslich genug ist.
