Abstract:
1. A method for determining the pose of a camera relative to a real environment, said method comprising the following steps: taking at least one image of a real environment by means of a camera, the image containing at least part of a real object; determining at least one parameter of an environmental situation; performing a tracking method that evaluates information with respect to correspondences between features associated with the real object and corresponding features of the real object as it is contained in the image of the real environment, so as to obtain conclusions about the pose of the camera; and performing the tracking method in accordance with the at least one parameter; wherein calculation of an uncertainty is effected in determining the camera pose by determination of a distance measure of the at least one parameter of the environmental situation and known ideal parameters of the tracking method with respect to a known environmental situation.
