An Improved Tracking using IMU and Vision Fusion for Mobile Augmented Reality Applications

摘要

Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) is becoming an important cyber-physical systemapplication given the ubiquitous availability of mobile phones. With the needto operate in unprepared environments, accurate and robust registration andtracking has become an important research problem to solve. In fact, when MARis used for tele-interactive applications involving large distances, say froman accident site to insurance office, tracking at both the ends is desirableand further it is essential to appropriately fuse inertial and vision sensorsdata. In this paper, we present results and discuss some insights gained inmarker-less tracking during the development of a prototype pertaining to anexample use case related to breakdown or damage assessment of a vehicle. Thenovelty of this paper is in bringing together different components and moduleswith appropriate enhancements towards a complete working system.
