COMBINING INDEPENDENT VISUALIZATION AND TRACKING SYSTEMS FOR AUGMENTED REALITY

Blog Article

The basic requirement for the successful deployment of a mobile augmented reality application Brake Parts is a reliable tracking system with high accuracy.Recently, a helmet-based inside-out tracking system which meets this demand has been proposed for self-localization in buildings.To realize an augmented reality application based on this tracking system, a display has to be added for visualization purposes.

Therefore, the relative pose of this visualization platform with respect to the helmet has to be tracked.In the case of hand-held visualization platforms like smartphones or tablets, this can be achieved by means of image-based tracking methods like marker-based or model-based tracking.In this paper, we present two marker-based methods for tracking the relative pose between the helmet-based tracking system and a tablet-based visualization system.

Both methods were implemented MOST Interfaces and comparatively evaluated in terms of tracking accuracy.Our results show that mobile inside-out tracking systems without integrated displays can easily be supplemented with a hand-held tablet as visualization device for augmented reality purposes.
