We describe initial work on a system for augmenting video sequences ith 3-D graphics so that they appear to be present within the scene. Our aim is to do this in real-time for sequences captured by uncalibrated ?live ?cameras, such as a hand-held or wearable. The paper focuses on obtaining 3-D camera motion and depth estimates for these types of sequences using sparse feature tracking and the recursive algorithm developed by Azarbayejani and Pentland [1 ]. We report experiments which demonstrate that the approach performs well and discuss implementation issues relating to its use in a ?live ?real-time system.
