Experimental Results

•  Common feature tracking algorithms, such as SIFT and SURF, are fairly slow in runtime due to the processing of a large amount of external data.

•  If the object is sufficiently small, outside noise may throw off

the object detection device without prior knowledge. •  Machine learning, especially Markov chains, can use prior

knowledge to turn a computationally expensive task into a faster, stochastic one.

•  Creating a better template for homography estimation than the first image, which will reduce noise in deteting keypoints

•  Generalized algorithm so a template can be chosen on

Android without further tuning

•  Further integration of the masking region
