Augmented Reality (AR) is one of the hottest emerging technologies, where the combination of virtual and real worlds can result in an immersive and natural experience for the end-user. AR has found its application in fields such as medical imaging, security, enterntainment, fitness, etc. ****Collaborating with SimentIT, Inc., we will develop new technologies that will disrupt the way people experience museum exhibits or the like of. Specifically, we will investigate : 1) 3D object recognition, where fast and accurate recognition of 3D objects (e.g. objects on display at museums) on mobile devices will result in quick instantiation of an AR experience; 2) tracking, where we will investigate novel techniques to improve the state-of-the-art in Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) through incorporation of semantic understanding of the visual data and multimodal fusion of data obtained from on-board mobile inertial sensors; and 3) cloud processing; where intelligent client-server work distribution and highly parallel processing will further improve the processing capabilities of an AR application. ****Together, the proposed methods will result in a robust framework for creating mobile AR applications. The proposed research will help to position Canada as a leader in multimedia technologies in the 21st century. The resultant technology transfer to Canadian industry will strengthen Canada's global competitiveness and create positive impacts to Canadian economy and society.

增强现实 (AR) 是最热门的新兴技术之一，虚拟世界和现实世界的结合可以为最终用户带来身临其境的自然体验。 AR 已在医学成像、安全、娱乐、健身等领域得到应用。****与 SimentIT, Inc. 合作，我们将开发新技术，颠覆人们体验博物馆展品等的方式。 具体来说，我们将研究：1）3D 对象识别，在移动设备上快速准确地识别 3D 对象（例如博物馆展出的对象）将导致 AR 体验的快速实例化； 2) 跟踪，我们将研究新技术，通过结合视觉数据的语义理解和从机载移动惯性传感器获得的数据的多模态融合来提高同步定位和地图绘制（SLAM）的最先进水平； 3）云处理；其中智能客户端-服务器工作分配和高度并行处理将进一步提高 AR 应用程序的处理能力。 ****所提出的方法将共同形成一个用于创建移动 AR 应用程序的强大框架。拟议的研究将有助于使加拿大成为 21 世纪多媒体技术的领导者。由此产生的向加拿大工业的技术转让将增强加拿大的全球竞争力，并对加拿大经济和社会产生积极影响。
