Markerless Augmented Reality with a Real-Time Affine Region Tracker
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a system for planar augmented reality based on a new real-time affine region tracker. Instead of tracking fiducial points, we track planar local image patches, and bring these into complete correspondence, so a virtual texture can directly be added to them. Moreover, the local image patches can be extracted in an invariant way, even without any a priori information from previous frames. Hence it is possible to use them as natural beacons, that can be used to recognize the scene and to identify the individual patches. This results in a powerful system, that can work without artificial markers or fiducial points and with a minimal amount of user interference.

A markerless registration method for augmented reality based on affine properties
This paper presents a markerless registration approach for Augmented Reality (AR) systems based on the Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi (KLT) natural feature tracker and the affine reconstruction and reprojection techniques. First, the KLT tracker is used to track the corresponding feature points in two control images. Next, four planar points are specified in each control image to set up the world coordina...
متن کاملReal-Time and Markerless Vision-Based Tracking for Outdoor Augmented Reality Applications
In this paper, a new concept for markerless optical tracking called “tracking with reference images” is introduced . This concept provides a flexible and praticable framework and is especially relevant for outdoor augmented-reality applications, for which no tracking solution currently exists. The implementation is achieved using an image matching technique, which compares the current live vide...
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 کاملHigh-Quality On-Patient Medical Data Visualization in a Markerless Augmented Reality Environment
To provide on-patient medical data visualization, a medical augmented reality environment must support volume rendering, accurate tracking, real-time performance and high visual quality in the final rendering. Another interesting feature is markerless registration, to solve the intrusiveness introduced by the use of fiducial markers for tracking. In this paper we address the problem of on-patie...
متن کاملLens Model Selection for a Markerless AR Tracking System
This paper describes a visual markerless real-time tracking system for Augmented Reality applications. The system uses a firewire camera with a fisheye lens mounted at 10 fps. Visual tracking of 3D scene points is performed simultaneously with 3D camera pose estimation without any prior scene knowledge. All visual-geometric data is acquired using a structure-from-motion approach. The lens selec...
