Mobile Augmented Reality Of Andriod
Sensor-Based
Abstract
The augmented reality is a kind of technology that combines the reality
environment and the virtual image together at the same time. Compared with the
virtual reality, which places user into a complete artificial world builded by computer
vision technology, the augmented reality adds some additional information to the real
scene: usually overlaying the related computer graphics or additional text information
on the image of the environment around users to complete visual navigation or task
instructions.
As the serious lack of portability, the augmented reality applications on the
desktop computer are limited largely. However, the rapid development of devices, and
the significantly improved multimedia computing resources and various build-in
sensors of the stand-alone devices have laid a good foundation for the implementation
of mobile augmented reality system, as well as provided a broad platform for related
application and promotion. It is currently a popular and difficult research topic to
solve the problem of building the mobile augmented reality system efficiently.
In this paper, we carried out the research of augmented reality on the Android
mobile platform. We introduced the configuration of development environment, and
discussed the whole process of the augmented reality implementation, including
image capturing, pose tracking, and finally developed the sensor-based mobile
augmented reality system with a sample application.
