Abstract

In the paper a using of 2D color camera and a program based on the Speeded-Up Robust Features (SURF) algorithm was presented. The main aim of this article was to find influence of amount of tracked points on accuracy of position and angle tracking. Required data are obtained by finding corresponding key points between image captured from the camera and a reference image of the tracked object. The program has been written in C# with using of Emgu CV which is an image processing library.
