This paper focuses on methods that enhance performance of a model based 3D object tracking system. Three statistical methods and an improved edge detector are discussed and compared. The evaluation is performed on a number of characteristic sequences incorporating shift, rotation, texture, weak illumination and occlusion. Considering the deviations of the pose parameters from ground truth, it is shown that improving the measurements' accuracy in the detection step yields better results than improving contaminated measurements with statistical means
