Virtual Telescope: A Mobile Augmented Reality System
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a mobile image matching application for Android mobile phone called Virtual Telescope to assist users in viewing distant buildings. The application automatically augments photo's field of view by retrieving replacement images and satellite images from the Internet. The application adopts content based image retrieval method and allow user two choices of feature descriptor, namely Scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) [1] and Affine-SIFT (ASIFT) [2]. The proposed application can also work as a general image retrieval system. Keywords-content based image retrieval; SIFT; ASIFT; Android application
