Tracking objects over a video sequence is not as easy problem as it might seem. Even polyhedral objects greatly change their visible contour in the course of movement. Estimation of an object's pose (position and orientation) often requires a precise (CAD-like) model of the object available to the tracker. The software below, written in Matlab as a course project, tracks polyhedral objects given models of the latter. Estimating object's pose was a helpful tool in tracking and a requirement to the program.
