shape targets

By stan on Wed, 06/20/2012 - 17:10
Hi, is there a way to make approximate targets? Like you take 2d wireframe picture of something e.g. monitor or laptop. and than qcar willt try to find similar shaped objects in video stream. It does not matter if it is not 100% correct and makes mistakes and fire trackable found on somethign which looks similar but is not it. Its just to be able to track anything with similar shape. Like all (or just most) laptops. there are libraries which do track human face. it must be even mode difficult that to find similar shaped objects. Stan

What you are describing is known as 3D tracking and it's not currently supported by the SDK. Vuforia tracks planar (i.e. flat ) targets. You can define a MultiTarget as a 3D shape, but this is still composed of flat ImageTargets.
