Embedded Augmented Reality: Finding an adequate escape pod to real time augmented reality applications

Overall Rating:

Total Customer Reviews: (0)

Traditionally, augmented reality systems place virtual objects in the real world using fiducial markers. Nowadays, in order to avoid such artificial markers that may become intrusive to the environment, markerless tracking techniques have been applied to the so named markerless augmented reality systems. The removal of t... [Read More]

Real-time Camera Tracking for Augmented Reality Applications: Efficient Line and Patch Feature Characertization and Management

Overall Rating:

Total Customer Reviews: (0)

One of the key problems of augmented reality is the tracking of the camera position and viewing direction in real-time. Current vision-based systems mostly rely on the detection and tracking of fiducial markers. Some markerless approaches exist, which are based on 3D line models or calibrated reference images. These methods require a high man... [Read More]
