Management of tracking for industrial AR setups

Abstract

The accuracy of a real time tracking system for industrial AR (IAR) applications often needs to comply with production tolerances. Such a system typically incorporates different off-/online devices so that the overall precision and accuracy cannot be trivially stated. Additionally, tracking needs to be flexible to not interfere with existing working processes and it needs to be operated and maintained free of error by on-site personnel who typically have a quality management (QM) background. For the final validation of such a complex tracking setup, empiric testing alone is either too expensive or lacks generality.
