SSTT - Simplified Spatial Target Tracker is a computer vision based tracking library for Augmented and Mixed Reality applications. The basic variant implements a marker based approach with a minimal set of constraints. Unlike similar libraries such as ARToolKit or the marker based StudierStube the approach of SSTT does not require thick black borders. The SSTT tracking algorithm automatically qualifies company logos or even images in books immediately as tracking targets. The following video illustrates the tracking performance.
