Abstract

Real time tracking and mapping is performed using images of unknown planar object. Multiple images of the planar object are captured. A new image is selected as a new keyframe. Homographies are estimated for the new keyframe and each of a plurality of previous keyframes for the planar object that are spatially distributed. A graph structure is generated using the new keyframe and each of the plurality of previous keyframes and the homographies between the new keyframe and each of the plurality of previous keyframes. The graph structure is used to create a map of the planar object. The planar object is tracked based on the map and subsequently captured images.
