Are these API's being continually worked on? or have they basically stabilized and are no longer being actively developed?

Hi Daniel, Have there been any recent comparisons of ARToolkitPlus and ARTag? The only ones I find in the literature are a bit dated.

Since ARToolKitPlus is a side project of my work, releases are irregular but there is still active development. E.g. latest (not released yet) changes brought another significant speedup on low end smartphones and we already have a Symbian version running too. For the future we plan changes that will improve the tracking quality. I don't know yet when these will be released... ARToolKit is still actively developed too, but in a different direction. Just recently Phil Lamb released a major new version with support for OpenSceneGraph. I don't think that changes to the vision core itself can be expected anymore since there haven't been any such changes for years and then this is where the commercial ARToolKit version 4 is placed. I hope this answers your questions, bye, Daniel |

ARTag gives definitely better tracking results since it does many things more accurate than ARToolKit and ARToolKitPlus. On the other hand, ARTag is closed source, available for less platforms and has a more restrictive license (ARTK and ARTK+ are GPL so you can do anything, even commercial and closed source projects without paying anything as long as you don't release products). For us a primary difference is the availablity of ARTK+ for handheld platforms. Mark Fiala is working on port of ARTag to Symbian but due to the way ARTag works (better edge detection, etc.) I doubt it will be very fast. Please see this as my personal opinion. I actually have only little experience with ARTag. Daniel |
