Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we proposed and developed a fast specific object detection method using frequency distributions of color and intensity gradient on a target object’s image. Our goal of the study is to develop a digital guidance system for out-of-door exhibitions using augmented reality technique that can run on mobile devices such as smart phones. The proposed method is able to detect specific objects fast and is robust to environmental changes that can be a factor causing a decrease in the precision of the detection such as illumination changes and secular changes. These changes can be occurred out-of-door exhibitions. In addition, our method realizes to perform the detection in practical speed on low power devices such as smart phones because the method requires shorter learning and detection time than “deep learning”.
