Real-Time Camera Tracking Server on the ELSET Accelerator

Abstract

A Camera Tracking subsystem plays an important role in any system that attempts to use synthetic images in video and TV production. In the ELSETTM demonstrator for the RACE 2052 MONA LISA project [1] such a subsystem drives a virtual camera to generate a synthesized 3-D background that moves in sympathy with the motion of the real camera.
