ARToolKitPlus for Pose Trackin on Mobile Devices

Abstract

In this paper we present ARToolKitPlus, a successor to the popular ARToolKit pose tracking library. ARToolKitPlus has been optimized and extended for the usage on mobile devices such as smartphones, PDAs and Ultra Mobile PCs (UMPCs). We explain the need and specific requirements of pose tracking on mobile devices and how we met those requirements. To prove the applicability we performed an extensive benchmark series on a broad range of off-the-shelf handhelds.
