Our papers on C2Tags has been accepted for publication in CVPR 2016. C2Tags are a new approach to visual marker tracking that has been designed for localization in challenging environments, such as the film sets in our H2020 project POPART. Like a few earlier papers, C2Tags consist of concentric rings, whose position in space has been reconstructed before tracking occurs. The
