Bespoke Augmented Visualisation of Interior Design

任何希望（重新）装饰环境的人面临的两个主要挑战是：“在我完成重新装饰后，我的房间看起来会是什么样子”，以及“选择这种表面的产品对选择另一种表面有什么影响？”。这个为期12个月的概念验证项目将开发并全面验证一个新颖的增强现实系统，以积极吸引用户参与瓷砖环境的设计，建造和翻新。与传统的成像技术不同，高动态范围（HDR）视频能够捕捉场景中的全方位照明。这种捕获的照明可以随后与基于物理的渲染一起使用，以使虚拟对象能够放置在环境中，使得它们不仅看起来逼真，而且确实在感知上准确。HDR视频将使用现有的设备上的摄像头在移动设备上捕获。场景中的结构和照明将自动从HDR视频中提取，并由基于物理的渲染系统使用，以定制照明重新照亮选定的产品。所得到的虚拟图像将用于增强来自环境的移动终端的实时视图，从而提供虚拟产品的真实视图，因为它们将出现在用户的定制照明条件下要安装它们的区域中。该系统将增强客户的信心，并显着减少浪费的时间和精力，在决定正确的选择瓷砖为特定的环境。作为英国最大的瓷砖制造商和供应商，约翰逊瓷砖（JT）已同意在系统的评估中提供其深入的市场知识，因为它的开发有助于确保他们的客户在实际（重新）装修完成之前通过增强视图满足他们的需求。最初是为瓷砖市场开发的，所产生的系统将同样适用于其他室内设计产品。

Two major challenges facing anyone who wishes to (re)decorate an environment are: “Whatwill my room look like after I have finished redecorating”, and “How will the choice of thisproduct for this surface impact on the choice for another surface?”. This 12 month Proof ofConcept project will develop and fully validate a novel augmented reality system to activelyengage users in the design, build and refurbishment of tiled environments. Unlike traditionalimaging techniques, High Dynamic Range (HDR) video is able to capture the full range oflighting in a scene. This captured lighting can subsequently be used together with physicallybased rendering to enable virtual objects to be placed in environments so that they not onlylook realistic, but are indeed perceptually accurate. HDR video will be captured on mobiledevices using the existing on-device cameras. The structure and lighting in the scene will beautomatically extracted from this HDR video and used by a physically-based rendering systemto relight a chosen product with bespoke lighting. The resultant virtual images will be used toaugment a live view from the mobile device of the environment providing an authentic viewof the virtual products as they would appear in the area in which they are to be installed underthe user’s bespoke lighting conditions. The system will enhance customer confidence andsignificantly reduce wasted time and effort in deciding on the right choice of tile for aparticular environment. The largest manufacturer and supplier of ceramic tiles in the UK,Johnson Tiles (JT) have agreed to provide their in-depth market knowledge in the evaluationof system as it is developed to help ensure that their customers will have high confidence thattheir needs are satisfied through the augmented view before the actual (re)decoration isfinalised. Developed initially for the tiling market, the resultant system will be equallyapplicable to other interior design products.
