The project allows to manipulate a virtual 3D object like a marionette using a real world 3D object and a camera. The real object image, as received from the camera is analyzed, the object is located in the image and its orientation and position are determined. The orientation and position of the real object determine the orientation and position of the virtual object – marionette.

The goal of the project is to track multiple robots in real time using a video camera. The robots are small LEGO Mindstorms vehicles that are moving inside an arena. The video camera is positioned on the ceiling above the arena. The video feed from the camera is analyzed in real time and the robot positions are determined.
