Modern optical coherence tomography (OCT) devices provide volumetric images with micrometer-scale spatial resolution and a temporal resolution beyond video rate. In this work, we analyze an OCT-based prototypical tracking system which processes 831 volumes per second, estimates translational motion, and automatically adjusts the field-of-view, which has a size of few millimeters, to follow a sample even along larger distances. The adjustment is realized by two galvo mirrors and a motorized reference arm, such that no mechanical movement of the scanning setup is necessary. Without requiring a marker or any other knowledge about the sample, we demonstrate that reliable tracking of velocities up to 25 mm s-1 is possible with mean tracking errors in the order of 0.25 mm. Further, we report successful tracking of lateral velocities up to 70 mm s-1 with errors below 0.3 mm.
