Conf. on Robotics and Automation, ICRA'05 %P 2852-2857 %C Barcelona, Spain %X In this paper, two real-time pose tracking algorithms of rigid objects are compared. Both methods are 3D-model based and are capable of calculating the pose between the camera and an object with a monocular vision system. Here, special consideration has been put on defining and evaluating different performance criteria such as computational efficiency, accuracy and robustness. Both methods are described and a unifying framework is derived. The main advantage of both algorithms lie in their real-time capabilities (on standard hardware) whilst being robust to miss-tracking, occlusion and changes in illumination %U http://rainbow-doc.irisa.fr/pdf/2005_icra_comport.pdf %U http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.robot.2005.03.009 %8 April %D 2005
