Abstract
This paper proposes a conceptual solution and a preliminary study for a
head tracking system designed to fulfill the strong require- ments of a
mobile seating buck application, such as easy setup, min- imal latency,
and wide effective field of view (FOV). The proposed approach uses a
head-mounted camera-IMU (inertial measurement unit) system with an
ultra-wide FOV fisheye lens for tracking the head with respect to one
single circular marker visualized on the navigation display. The
visual-inertial sensor fusion is performed with help of an extended
Kalman filter. An image processing ap- proach and several fusion models
are developed and their perfor- mances are evaluated and compared in
relation to the specific tar- get application. The paper shares the
experiences and experimental results from this preliminary study, as
well as, ideas for improve- ments and extensions for the next
development cycle. Overall, the study shows that the proposed setup in
combination with a tightly coupled sensor fusion approach provides a
feasible solution for the application context.
