With tracking setups becoming increasingly complex, it gets more difficult to find suitable algorithms for tracking, calibration and sensor fusion. A large number of solutions exists in the literature for various combinations of sensors, however, no development methodology is available for systematic analysis of tracking setups. When modeling a system as a spatial relationship graph (SRG), which describes coordinate systems and known transformations, all algorithms used for tracking and calibration correspond to certain patterns in the graph. This paper introduces a formal model for representing such spatial relationship patterns and presents a small catalog of patterns frequently used in augmented reality systems. We also describe an algorithm to identify patterns in SRGs at runtime for automatic construction of data flows networks for tracking and calibration.
We also recently introduced the concept of spatial relationship patterns REF .
