Video-based In Situ Tagging for Mobile Augmented Reality

  • Wonwoo Lee | Ubiquitous – Virtual Reality Lab

In this talk, we introduce a novel approach for creating and overlaying annotations on real world objects. We present how to exploit sensors of smartphones to estimate the orientation relative to a target object from an image and how to perform learning on a smartphone in situ. This approach allows a user to interact with an unknown scenes and to create virtual annotations on it through a smartphone. Experimental results in real world scenes demonstrate the effectiveness of our method for mobile augmented reality applications.
