3D ball tracker

This page contains information on how to build, set up and run PF3DTracker, the particle-filter-based 3D ball tracker. The page is in the process of being written, so it's very incomplete and the information you find on it might be inaccurate.

Get the source code

The source code of the tracker is not in the iCub repository at the moment, I need to make sure it can be built on Windows before I commit it. Send me a mail at mtaiana at isr*ist*utl*pt and I'll give you the code.

Build the tracker
