Markerless Augmented Reality for Robots in Unprepared Environments
نویسنده
چکیده
Augmented Reality (AR) can assist humans in understanding complex robot information, and improve Human and Robot Interaction (HRI). However, many restrictions are imposed by the underlying technology used and thus have limited current AR systems to operate in controlled or modified robot environments. This hinders the wide spread use of AR for different robot applications. This paper presents a markerless AR system that combines recent tracking and detection techniques for AR visualisation of robot task relevant information. We employ natural feature tracking techniques to compute the camera pose for accurate registration of virtual objects. Automatic relocalisation of the camera pose is achieved using a planar object detection algorithm which recovers from tracking failures. Experiments using a camera mounted on a mobile ground robot demonstrated accurate tracking and successful recovery of planar features in an unprepared indoor environment.

Reconstructing While Registering: A Novel Approach for Markerless Augmented Reality
This paper addresses the registration problem for unprepared multi-planar scenes. An interactive process is proposed to get accurate results using nothing else than the texture information of the planes. In particular, the classical preparation steps (camera calibration, scene acquisition) are greatly simplified, since included in the on-line registration process. Some results are shown on indo...
متن کاملTracking in unprepared environments for augmented reality systems
Many Augmented Reality applications require accurate tracking. Existing tracking techniques require prepared environments to ensure accurate results. This paper motivates the need to pursue Augmented Reality tracking techniques that work in unprepared environments, where users are not allowed to modify the real environment, such as in outdoor applications. Accurate tracking in such situations i...
متن کاملOrientation control for indoor virtual landmarks based on hybrid- based markerless augmented reality
Augmented Reality opens the gate of connection between real and virtual dimension. AR can be used to display any information that by default are not perceived by regular human senses. As such, it is very beneficial to enrich the connection between human and machines. In this paper, an indoor Augmented Reality system is presented in order to display virtual artifacts or ancient heritages in the ...
متن کاملA Markerless Augmented Reality Environment for On-Patient Medical Data Visualization
On-patient medical data visualization is desirable in several situations such as surgical planning and training. Currently, it becomes possible with the augmented reality, a technology which enables the visualization of the patient’s virtual anatomy at the location of the real one in a conventional display. In this work, we present a markerless augmented reality environment for on-patient medic...
متن کاملModel-Free Markerless Tracking for Remote Support in Unknown Environments
We propose a complete system that performs real-time markerless tracking for Augmented Reality-based remote user support in a priori unknown environments. In contrast to existing systems, which require a prior setup and/or knowledge about the scene, our system can be used without preparation. This is due to our tracking algorithm which does not need a 3D-model of the scene or a learning-phase f...
