We present a method for large-scale geo-localization and global tracking of mobile devices in urban outdoor environments. In contrast to existing methods, we instantaneously initialize and globally register a SLAM map by localizing the first keyframe with respect to widely available untextured 2.5D maps. Given a single image frame and a coarse sensor pose prior, our localization method estimates the...
In this work, we propose a multi-user system for tracking and mapping, which accommodates mobile clients with different capabilities, mediated by a server capable of providing real-time structure from motion. Clients share their observations of the scene according to their individual capabilities. This can involve only keyframe tracking, but also mapping and map densification, if more computational...
Handling degenerate rotation-only camera motion is a challenge for keyframe-based simultaneous localization and mapping with six degrees of freedom. Existing systems usually filter corresponding keyframe candidates, resulting in mapping starvation and tracking failure. We propose to employ these otherwise discarded keyframes to build up local panorama maps registered in the 3D map. Thus, the system...
We present a real-time camera pose tracking and mapping system which uses the assumption of a planar scene to implement a highly efficient mapping algorithm. Our light-weight mapping approach is based on keyframes and plane-induced homographies between them. We solve the planar reconstruction problem of estimating the keyframe poses with an efficient image rectification algorithm. Camera pose tracking...

In this paper we present the multi-display environment Deskotheque, which combines personal and tiled projected displays into a continuous teamspace. Its main distinguishing factor is a fine-grained spatial (i. e., both geometric and topological) model of the display layout. Using this model, Deskotheque allows seamless mouse pointer navigation and application window sharing across the multi-display...
