A Hybrid Registration Method for Outdoor Augmented Reality
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a registration method for outdoor wearable AR systems is described. Our approach is based on using a high precision gyroscope, which can measure 3DOF angle of head direction accurately, but with some drift error. We solved the drift problem with a vision-based drift compensation algorithm, which tracks natural features in the outdoor environment as landmarks from images captured by a camera on an HMD. This paper first describes the detail of the vision-based drift compensation method. Then, a calibration method for the orientation sensor is proposed. Finally, using results from an actual wearable AR system, a comparison of registration error with and without vision-based drift compensation demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed method.

A Motion-Stabilized Outdoor Augmented Reality System
Almost all previous Augmented Reality (AR) systems work indoors. Outdoor AR systems offer the potential for new application areas. However, building an outdoor AR system is difficult due to portability constraints, the inability to modify the environment, and the greater range of operating conditions. We demonstrate a hybrid tracker that stabilizes an outdoor AR display with respect to user mot...
متن کاملRegistration for Outdoor Augmented Reality Applications Using Computer Vision Techniques and Hybrid Sensors
Registration for outdoor systems for Augmented Reality (AR) cannot rely on the methods developed for indoor use (e.g., magnetic tracking, fiducial markers). Although GPS and the earth’s magnetic field can be used to obtain a rough estimate of position and orientation, the precision of this registration method is not high enough for satisfying AR overlay. Computer vision methods can help to impr...

متن کاملA Hybrid Line-based Tracking System for Outdoor Environments
We describe a hybrid tracking system for outdoor augmented reality applications in this paper. There are two main contributions of the proposed system: 1) It makes use of naturally occurring line features to recover 6ODF pose; 2) A high precision gyro is used to track 2D lines across frames for large inter-frame motions. The proposed system has been tested for outdoor augmented reality applicat...
متن کاملHybrid Indoor and Outdoor Tracking for Mobile 3D Mixed Reality
This paper describes a new hybrid tracking system that integrates standard outdoor augmented reality trackers with a low cost indoor tracker based on the use of fiducial markers. We use multiple cameras, separate orientation sensing, and scene graph integration to improve on similar previous systems. This hybrid tracker allows applications to operate within large indoor and outdoor environments...
