Synopsis

This research introduces a stochastic framework for evaluating and comparing the expected performance of sensing systems for interactive computer graphics. Incorporating models of the sensor devices and expected user motion dynamics, this framework enables complementary system- and measurement-level hardware information optimization, independent of algorithm and motion paths. The approach for system-level optimization is to estimate the asymptotic position and/or orientation uncertainty at many points throughout a desired working volume or surface, and to visualize the results graphically. This global performance estimation can provide both a quantitative assessment of the expected performance and intuition about how to improve the type and arrangement of sources and sensors, in the context of the desired working volume and expected scene dynamics. Using the same model components required for these system-level optimization, the optimal sensor sampling time can be determined with respect to the expected scene dynamics for measurement-level optimization.
