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

本项目取得了以下研究成果：1.真实与虚拟世界的几何配准构建增强现实环境中最重要的问题之一就是真实与虚拟坐标系的对齐。这种几何配准问题导致估计现实世界中用户视点的位置和方向，该问题首先得到解决，并研究了多种技术；例如，(1) 通过跟踪用户视野中的标记和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集成以实现稳健配准，(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. 真实世界对象上的注释叠加我们开发了一种两步信息表示方式 在现实世界对象上叠加注释的方案。首先将对象标签叠加在用户视野中的n个对象上，然后呈现关于用户眼睛所注视的某个对象的详细信息。此外，我们还开发了一个网络*ase系统，用于实时更新注释信息。所提出的系统通过无线网络向用户提供来自服务器的注释信息，以便用户不需要将其保存在可穿戴计算机中，并且信息提供者可以使用网络浏览器轻松更新数据库。使用该框架，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许多wearabla增强现实系统的原型。这些系统被实现为视频透视增强现实系统，其中注释首先与在用户视点捕获的现实世界图像组合，然后通过头戴式显示器或连接到眼镜的小型夹式显示器将合成图像呈现给用户。通过室内和室外环境的实验测试了所提出系统的可行性。其中一些系统针对特定的潜在应用进行了调整，例如消防中的消防员支持系统和观光中的导游系统。较少的
