Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, Augmented Reality (AR) system is proposed to be used for outdoor landscape simulation. The research proposes an outdoor marker-less AR system that considers the mobility of users and their long relative distance to target buildings where 3D virtual objects should be augmented on. The proposed system uses local feature-based image registration technology and Structure from Motion (SfM) which reconstructs 3DCG models using photographs from multiple viewpoints. Case studies have been performed for a research building renovation scenario at Osaka University and newly-built office building project in Osaka City. The case study verified the performance of image registration and tracking, and confirmed the applicability of the method.
