Abstract:
This paper describes the major components of the Grasp augmented
vision system. Grasp is an object-oriented system written in C++,
which provides an environment both for exploring the basic
technologies of augmented vision, and for developing applications
that demonstrate the capabilities of these technologies. The
hardware components of Grasp include video cameras, 6-D tracking
devices, a frame grabber, a 3-D graphics workstation, a scan
converter, and a video mixer. The major software components consist
of classes that implement geometric models, rendering algorithms,
calibration methods, file I/O, a user interface, and event handling.
