Vision-inertial system calibration for tracking in augmented reality
نویسندگان
چکیده
High accuracy registration between real and virtual environments is crucial in Augmented Reality (AR) systems. However, when a vision/inertial hybrid tracker is used,such accuracy depends mostly on the calibration procedure to determine transformations between the sensors frames. This calibration allows to project all data in a single reference frame. In this paper, we describe a new calibration method for a hybrid tracking system. It consists on rigidly assembling the hybrid tracker to a 6DOF robot in order to simulate the users head motion while tracking targets in AR environment. Our approach exploits the robot positioning to obtain a high accuracy for the tracker calibration. Experimental results and accuracy analyses are presented and demonstrate our approach effectiveness.

A new Combination of Vision-Based and Inertial Tracking for Fully Mobile, Wearable, and Real-Time Operation
Real-time tracking of an object’s pose (position and orientation) is a prerequisite for many potential new applications in mobile systems. We present a new combination of a full six degree of freedom (6 DoF) inertial tracking system with a vision-based tracking system. Inertial tracking is based on silicon micromachined accelerometers and gyroscopes, and the vision-based tracker recovers camera...

We present a color video-based augmented reality (AR) system that is designed to be self-tracking, that is, it requires no separate tracking subsystem. Rather, tracking is performed strictly from the video images acquired through the lens of the camera also used to view the real world. The methods for tracking are rooted in prior research in photogrammetry and computer vision. This approach to ...

متن کاملLow Latency Rendering and Positioning for Mobile Augmented Reality
Mobile augmented reality requires accurately alignment of virtual information with objects visible in the real world. We describe a system for mobile communications to be developed to meet these strict alignment criteria using a combination of computer vision, inertial tracking and image-based rendering techniques.
