Augmented Virtual Environments (AVE): Dynamic Fusion of Imagery and 3D Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
An Augmented Virtual Environment (AVE) fuses dynamic imagery with 3D models. The AVE provides a unique approach to visualize and comprehend multiple streams of temporal data or images. Models are used as a 3D substrate for the visualization of temporal imagery, providing improved comprehension of scene activities. The core elements of AVE systems include model construction, sensor tracking, real-time video/image acquisition, and dynamic texture projection for 3D visualization. This paper focuses on the integration of these components and the results that illustrate the utility and benefits of the resulting augmented virtual environment.

Augmented Virtual Environments (AVE) for Visualization of Dynamic Imagery
An Augmented Virtual Environment (AVE) provides a means of fusing dynamic imagery on a 3D model substrate. The AVE approach allows users to visualize and comprehend multiple streams of imagery (video and still images) in a four-dimensional context. The addition of projected live or recorded imagery to an otherwise static virtual environment creates an AVE. Our methods are described in the conte...

متن کاملAugmented reality and photogrammetry: A synergy to visualize physical and virtual city environments
Close-range photogrammetry is based on the acquisition of imagery to make accurate measurements and, eventually, three-dimensional (3D) photo-realistic models. These models are a photogrammetric product per se. They are usually integrated into virtual reality scenarios where additional data such as sound, text or video can be introduced, leading to multimedia virtual environments. These environ...
