Title: IEEE ISMAR 2013 Joint Workshop on Tracking Methods &
Applications and TrakMark

Workshop URL: http://studierstube.icg.tugraz.at/ISMARTrackingWorkshop/

Workshop Date: Tuesday, October 1, 2013

Paper Submission Deadline: Monday, June 17, 2013

Works in Progress Submission Deadline: July 8, 2013

Workshop Location: Adelaide, Australia

Co-located with IEEE 2013 International Symposium on Mixed and
Augmented Reality (ISMAR)

++++++++++++++++++++++++++ About the Workshop +++++++++++++++++++++++++

The focus of this workshop is on all issues related to tracking for
Mixed and Augmented Reality. This year, we will combine the
well-established TrakMark meeting with the recent workshop series
on Tracking Methods & Applications to cover all these aspects in one
event.

Unlike the tracking sessions of the main conference, this
workshop does not require pure novelty of the proposed methods; it
rather encourages presentations that concentrate on complete systems
and integrated approaches engineered to run in real-world scenarios.

The concept of this workshop is to look at pose tracking from an
end-to-end point of view. We invite submissions describing practical
tracking solutions for AR which address issues including, but
not limited to:

- Model-based detection and tracking
- Large scale object recognition
- SLAM and online reconstruction
- Sensor integration and fusion
- User generated content and tracking data
- Networking and persistence
- Flow graphs and plug-in architectures

This year we would especially like to emphasize:

- Hardware for tracking (e.g. FPGA, special cameras)
- CPU offloading (e.g. GPU processing)
- Datasets for benchmarking of tracking algorithms
- Evaluation methodology for fair comparison of tracking methods

Two keynote talks given by invited world-renowned specialists in fields
from which Augmented Reality can highly benefit will be delivered at the
beginning of each presentation session. The fields include computer
vision and other sensing modalities (e.g. GPS, inertial, etc.) and
systems issues (calibration, estimation, fusion, etc.). The speakers
will be announced soon.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Paper Submission +++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Authors are requested to submit original, unpublished manuscripts in
standard IEEE proceedings format. Submitted papers should address at
least one of the workshop topics or a relevant topic indicated by the
author. Accepted paper must be presented by the authors at the workshop.
All workshop material will be included on the conference memory stick
and archived on the workshop website.

Submit your manuscript through the EasyChair submission system:
