We have obtained the following research results in this project.1.Geometric Registration of Real and Virtual WorldsOne of the most important problems in constructing augmented reality environments is to align the real and virtual coordinate systems. This geometric registration problem, which results in estimating the position and orientation of user's view point in the real world, was first addressed and a number of techniques have been investigated ; for example, (1)Vision-based registration by tracking markers and natural features in user's view, (2)Integration of inertial sensor output with vision-based tracking for robust registration, (3)Position identification using positioning infrastructures such IrDA devices and RFID tags, and (4)Integration of GPS and inertial sensors in outdoor environments.2.Annotation Overlay on Real World ObjectsWe have developed a two-step information presentation scheme for overlaying annotations on real world objects. First object labels are overlaid o … More n objects in user's view, and detailed information is then presented with respect to a certain object on which user's eyes are fixed. Moreover we have developed a networked *ase system for updating annotation information in real-time. The proposed system provides users with annotation information from a server via a wireless network so that users do not need to hold it in their wearable computers and information providers can easily update the database with a web browser. Using this framework, multiple users can send and share location-dependent information in the real world.3.Development of Prototype SystemsA number of prototypes of wearabla augmented reality system have been developed. These systems are implemented as video see-through augmented reality systems, in which annotations are first composed with real world images captured at user's view point and then the composite images are presented to users via a head-mounted display or a small clip-on display attached to glasses. The feasibility of the proposed systems is tested with experiments in indoor and outdoor environments. Some of the systems are tuned to specified potential applications such as a fireman supporting system in fire fighting and a tour guide system in sightseeing. Less

本课题取得了以下研究成果：1.真实世界和虚拟世界的几何配准构建增强现实环境最重要的问题之一是对齐真实和虚拟的坐标系。这个几何配准问题是为了估计用户视点在真实世界中的位置和方向，首先研究了一些技术，例如：(1)通过跟踪标记和用户视觉中的自然特征进行基于视觉的配准，(2)将惯性传感器输出与基于视觉的跟踪相结合进行稳健配准，(3)使用IrDA设备和RFID标签等定位基础设施进行位置识别，以及(4)在室外环境中集成GPS和惯性传感器。2.基于真实世界对象的注记覆盖我们提出了一种两步信息表示方案，用于在真实世界对象上覆盖注解。第一个对象标签覆盖在…上用户视线中的N个以上的对象，然后呈现关于用户眼睛所注视的特定对象的详细信息。此外，我们还开发了一个用于实时更新注解信息的网络化*ASE系统。拟议的系统通过无线网络向用户提供来自服务器的注释信息，因此用户不需要将其保存在他们的可穿戴计算机中，信息提供商可以通过网络浏览器轻松地更新数据库。利用这个框架，多个用户可以在现实世界中发送和共享与位置相关的信息。3.原型系统的开发已经开发了一些可穿戴式增强现实系统的原型。这些系统被实现为视频透视式增强现实系统，其中注释首先与在用户视点捕获的真实世界图像合成，然后通过头盔显示器或附加在眼镜上的小型夹式显示器呈现给用户。通过在室内和室外环境下的实验，验证了该系统的可行性。其中一些系统是针对特定的潜在应用而调整的，例如消防中的消防员辅助系统和观光中的导游系统。较少
