Sumario:We describe a markerless camera tracking system for augmented reality that operates in environments which contain one or more planes. This is a common special case, which we show significantly simplifies tracking. The result is a practical, reliable, vision-based tracker. Furthermore, the tracked plane imposes a natural reference frame, so that the alignment of the real and virtual coordinate systems is rather simpler than would be the case with a general structure-and-motion system. Multiple planes can be tracked, and additional data such as 2D point tracks are easily incorporated.
