Title:

Touch Tracking with a Particle Filter

Location:

Owheo 106 - 1:00 pm, Friday 2nd August

Abstract:

In this talk I will discuss the problems of multi-touch touchscreen tracking and focus on one particular system that uses linescan cameras and retro-reflective strips. Such a system is very good for single-touch tracking, but complexities arise when multi-touch tracking is needed. I show that a particle filter incorporating local search provides an accurate and efficient solution. The system achieves over 95% correct tracking with an error tolerance of 1mm for up to 8 touches. I will also briefly discuss some of the limitations of particle filters in practice.
