This work combines edge-based visual tracking with inertial sensors. By modifying the behaviour of edge detection according to information from rate gyroscopes, sequences with substantial amounts of motion blur can be tracked.

The above tracking method can be applied to a head-mounted camera. A see-through head-mounted display and a novel calibration technique are used to produce prototype maintenance applications.

Tablet PCs offer an alternative delivery mechanism for augmented reality. A combination of inside-out edge tracking and outside-in LED tracking provides robust registration. Occlusions can be refined to improve the perceived integration of virtual objects in the real world.

Instead of using rate gyroscopes to predict camera motion in a frame, we attempt to estimate this information from the video input by analysing the motion blur present in a single video frame. By looking at the parts of the image which remain un-blurred, blur direction and magnitude can be determined very quickly (just over 2 milliseconds per frame on a 2.4GHz machine).
