Title: SwisTrack - A Flexible Open Source Tracking Software for Multi-Agent Systems

Authors: Thomas Lochmatter, Pierre Roduit, Chris Cianci, Nikolaus Correll, Jacques Jacot and Alcherio Martinoli

Abstract:
Vision-based tracking is used in nearly all roboticlaboratories for monitoring and extracting of agent positions,orientations, and trajectories. However, there is currently noaccepted standard software solution available, so many researchgroups resort to developing and using their own customsoftware. In this paper, we present Version 4 of SwisTrack,an open source project for simultaneous tracking of multipleagents. While its broad range of pre-implemented algorithmiccomponents allows it to be used in a variety of experimentalapplications, its novelty stands in its highly modular architecture.Advanced users can therefore also implement additionalcustomized modules which extend the functionality of theexisting components within the provided interface. This paperintroduces SwisTrack and shows experiments with both markedand marker-less agents.
