ISMAR 2015: Augmentation Without Boundaries
The 14th IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality
29 September - 3 October 2015, Fukuoka, Japan
http://ismar.vgtc.org/
===================================================
CALL FOR TRACKING COMPETITION (Jul. 6th)
Submission Deadline: 31 August, 2015
Special Website: http://ypcex.naist.jp/trakmark/tracking-competition/
In the research fields of Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR),
tracking and geometric registration methods are still one of the most
important topics. The tracking research field is highly active. Every year
promising novel tracking methods are proposed at the ISMAR symposium.
The purpose of the ISMAR 2015 Tracking Competition is to encourage both
beginners and experts to seek and create the best tracking algorithms for
typical Mixed and Augmented Reality applications. This year we have
formulated the competition in mind the following three points.
Introduce a different competition style as beginners can participate easily
Prepare a challenging scenario for past Tracking Competition participants
Collaborate with TrakMark WG to provide a fair comparison
The ISMAR 2015 Tracking Competition has two categories: on-site
competition and off-site competition.
- On-site Competition Category
The on-site competition is similar to the past ISMAR Tracking Competition.
The task is tracking in an unknown area to spot certain elements based on
given 3D coordinates. Participants are required to bring their own
hardware and demonstrate their tracking approach on-site.
- Off-site Competition Category Sample data and code are released
(2015.7.6).
The off-site competition is a newly introduced style in which participants
will submit their tracking results of the challenges given in advance. It
consists of three scenarios and each scenario has three levels. The
off-site competition is held with the assistance of Technical Committee on
Pattern Recognition and Media Understanding (PRMU), The Institute of
Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE).
