Texture-Based Tracking of Rigid Body Motion in 6-DoF (2004)
When a rigid object moves in 3D space relative to a camera, it is often interesting to know how its relative pose changes in its full 6 degrees of freedom (DoF). The problem of 6DoF tracking arises in the context of numerous applications within and beyond robotics, such as manipulation of moving objects, navigation of a mobile robot or vehicle, or pose estimation of a handheld sensing device.
