Mobile Augmented Reality Support for Architects Based on Feature Tracking Techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a mobile Augmented Reality (AR) system called the SitePack supporting architects in visualizing 3D models in real-time on site. We describe how vision based feature tracking techniques can help architects making decisions on site concerning visual impact assessment. The AR system consists only of a tablet PC, a web cam and a custom software component. No preparation of the site is required and accurate initialization, which has not been addressed by previous papers on real-time feature tracking, is achieved by a combination of automatic and manual techniques.

Tracking on-line learned Natural Features for Mobile Augmented Reality
Augmented Reality (AR) systems present a mixture of the real world and virtual, computer generated objects to the user. One of the most challenging tasks when building an AR system is camera tracking. This process of determining the exact current location and orientation of the camera with respect to the scene is essential to be able to render objects registered with the real world. In this the...
متن کاملFast Natural Feature Tracking for Mobile Augmented Reality Applications
Fast natural feature tracking is essential to make markerless augmented reality applications practical on low performance mobile devices. To speed up the natural feature tracking process which includes computationally expensive procedures, we propose a novel fast tracking method using optical flow aimed for mobile augmented reality applications. Experimental results showed that the proposed met...
متن کاملSketching up the world: In-situ authoring for mobile Augmented Reality
We present a novel system allowing in-situ content creation for mobile Augmented Reality in unprepared environments. This system targets smartphones and therefore allows a spontaneous authoring while in place. We describe two different scenarios, which are depending on the size of the working volume and consequently use different tracking techniques. A natural feature-based approach for planar ...
متن کاملRobust Feature Point Extraction and Tracking for Augmented Reality
For augmented reality applications, accurate estimation of the camera pose is required. An existing video-based markerless tracking system, developed at the ITS, presents several weaknesses towards this goal. In order to improve the video tracker, several feature point extraction and tracking techniques are compared in this project. The techniques with best performance in the framework of augme...
متن کاملIn-Situ Content Creation for Mobile Augmented Reality
We present a novel system for in-situ content creation for Augmented Reality targeting mobile phones. The system tracks the mobile device in a large environment based on natural feature tracking whereas the tracking data is provided by a database on a remote server. Our system offers a set of simple, yet powerful modeling functions for in-place content creation. The resulting AR scene can be sh...
