This paper proposes an augmented reality application called augmented book. The augmented book provides an interface to the virtual objects and virtual environments using a real book. In the augmented book a user observes and manipulates the 3D visualization of virtual objects. Three different types of markers are introduced for the manipulation of virtual objects. By moving the control marker, the user controls the virtual objects. Our augmented book can be used as an interface for various kinds of 3D contents such as contents of real books or product catalogs.

In Augmented Reality, it needs restoration and tracking of a real-time scene structure for the augmented 3D model from input video or images. Most of the previous approaches construct accurate 3D models in advance and try to fit them in real-time. However, it is difficult to measure 3D model accurately and requires long pre-processing time to construct exact 3D model specifically. In this research, we suggest a real-time scene structure analysis method for the wide indoor mobile augmented reality, using only generic models without exact pre-constructed models. Our approach reduces cost and time by removing exact modeling process and demonstrates the method for restoration and tracking of the indoor repetitive scene structure such as corridors and stairways in different scales and details.

In this paper we propose ubiquitous virtual reality framework and its application for fostering a sustainable content ecosystem in the convergence space of virtual reality and real space. The ubiquitous virtual reality framework supports fundamental infrastructure which consists of platforms for end-users and service providers and dual space management. The platform for the service provider allows experts to generate contents related to real objects while the platform for the end-users allows to consume, share and regenerate the contents contextually augmented over real objects. The dual space management stores, visualizes and provides the contents generated and extended by them for connecting different users and service providers. The proposed framework allows users to continuously generate, share and extend the contents and thus contribute to making multimedia service environment. We also implemented and evaluated the framework consisting of a desktop authoring platform, mobile authoring platform and a dual space management server. We then introduced a promising application scenario to show how the content ecosystem is empowered by ubiquitous virtual reality framework and is realized in our life. Consequently, we are expecting that the ubiquitous virtual reality technology will play a vital role in building continuously evolving multimedia service environment for the future computing environment.

Projection-based augmented reality (AR) system refers to the system that accurately project high quality virtual information at the user-specified area by using the projector. Most of projection-based AR systems use the display device to support high quality and wide screen for increasing the user-immersion. Furthermore, they are implemented on the desktop environment due to the computational complexity. However, these projection-based AR systems are not suited as a mobile system and thus it may be inconvenient in the user point of view. Fortunately, Miniaturization of projectors and improved capacity of the mobile processor allowed the mobile AR system to be convenient. The limitation of established mobile AR system is that it uses small display screen which does not support high-resolutions and thus it may reduce the user-immersion into the system. In this paper, we propose portable projection-based display system, which overcomes the limitations of both projection-based and mobile-based AR systems. We have conducted the user evaluation to verify the effectiveness and the utmost capacity of the system.

최근 프로젝터의 보편화로 인해 프로젝터를 증강현실의 디스플레이 장치로 활용하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 관련 연구들을 흔히 프로젝션 기반 증강현실이라고 부른다. 프로젝션 기반 증강현실을 구현하기 위해서는 스크린의 기하(geometry) 및 컬러(photometry) 정보를 획득하는 과정이 선행되어야 하는데, 이는 프로젝터를 이용하여 정해진 패턴 영상을 투사하고 이를 카메라로 캡쳐한 후, 카메라 영상에 다양한 컴퓨터비전 기술들을 적용함으로써 행해진다. 이러한 스크린 기하 및 컬러 정보 획득 기술은 가시적인(visible) 패턴 영상이 사용자의 몰입감을 저해한다는 단점을 가진다. 특히, 스크린의 기하 및 컬러 정보가 수시로 변하는 환경에서는 가시적인 패턴 영상을 사용하는 기존의 스크린 기하 및 컬러 정보 획득 기술은 유용하지 못하다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 일부 패턴 영상을 비가시적(invisible)으로 만드는 기술들이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 관련 기술들을 비간섭 프로젝션 기반 증강현실이라고 한다. 특히, 보색 패턴(complementary patterns)을 증강현실 영상에 삽입하는 방법은 부가적인 장비없이 간단한 영상처리만으로 효과적으로 패턴 영상을 비가시적으로 만들어 줄 수 있으며, 최근 가상 스튜디오에 활용하는 방안이 모색되고 있다. 그러나, 삽입된 보색 패턴의 세기와 비가시성 사이는 상반관계(trade-off)를 가지므로, 일반적인 환경에서는 보색 패턴의 비가시성을 보장할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 보색 패턴의 비가시성을 극대화하기 위해 컨텐츠 적응형 패턴 삽입 기술을 제안한다. 증강현실 영상의 색감 및 텍스처의 복잡도에 따라 크게 4 가지 경우로 분류하여 부분적으로 다른 채널 및 세기로 보색 패턴을 삽입한다. YIQ 컬러 공간에서 표현된 증강현실 영상을 균일한 크기의 영역으로 나눈 다음, 각 영역에 대해 I 성분이 지배적이면 Q 채널에 패턴을 삽입하고 Q 성분이 지배적이면 I 채널에 패턴을 삽입한다. 한편, 각 영역에 대해 텍스처의 복잡도가 크다면 강한 패턴을, 복잡도가 작으면 약한 패턴을 삽입한다. 여기서, 텍스처의 복잡도는 간단한 미분 필터(derivative filter)를 이용하여 계산된다. 다양한 실험 및 사용자 평가를 통해, 제안된 방법은 기존 방법에 비해 크게 두 가지 상반관계를 가지는 장점을 가짐을 확인하였다. 스크린의 기하 및 컬러 정보를 획득하는 성능 면에서 제안된 방법이 기존의 방법과 유사하도록 채널 및 패턴의 세기를 결정한다면, 기존의 방법에 비해 패턴의 비가시성이 크게 개선된다. 반대로, 제안된 방법의 패턴의 비가시성이 기존의 방법과 유사하도록 채널 및 패턴의 세기를 결정한다면, 기존의 방법에 비해 스크린의 기하 및 컬러 정보를 획득하는 성능이 크게 개선된다.

As the shipbuilding and offshore plant industries grow larger and more complex, their maintenance and inspection systems become more important. Recently, maintenance and inspection systems based on augmented reality have been attracting much attention for improving worker's understanding of work and efficiency, but it is often difficult to work with because accurate matching between the augmented model and reality information is not. To solve this problem, marker based AR technology is used to attach a specific image to the model. However, the markers get damaged due to the characteristic of the shipbuilding and offshore plant industry, and the camera needs to be able to detect the entire marker clearly, and thus requires sufficient space to exist between the operator. In order to overcome the limitations of the existing AR system, in this study, a markerless AR was adopted to accurately recognize the actual model of the pipe system that occupies the most processes in the shipbuilding and offshore plant industries. The matching methodology. Through this system, it is expected that the twist phenomenon of the augmented model according to the attitude of the real worker and the limited environment can be improved.

Tangible Space is a new emerging interaction space with mobile AR/VR computing and ubiquitous computing environment with IoT. Tangible Space spans from a physical environment augmented with virtual entities to immersive virtual environments mirroring the physical environment. Interacting with Tangible Space is logged just like interacting with the Web. By webizing Tangible Space, we can gain persistence as a by-product so that human life experience in the physical environment can be logged and shared just like the information being created and shared in the current Web. The result is a powerful future direction of the web from a World Wide Web of Information to World Wide Web of Life experiences.

Recently, application fields using machine learning have been widely expanded. In addition to the spread of smart devices, application services using location-based services are also in demand. However, it is difficult to provide the application service through the positioning in the indoor environment such as the specific space where the disaster situation where the information for positioning can not be collected and the actual location location information can not be used. In this situation, using the spatial information composed of the marker information and the markers of the neighbor registered in the augmented reality environment, positioning at a specific situation or position becomes possible. At this time, it is possible to learn the operation that makes the configuration of the marker-based spatial information correspond to the actual position through the machine learning, and the optimal positioning result can be obtained by minimizing the error. In this paper, we study the positioning methods required in specific situations using machine learning for learning of augmented reality markers and spatial information.

This paper proposes a half-silvered mirror display system designed to demonstrate useful information about things on display into the air. It helps the spectators gain quick access to information near the area where the things are put on display. This paper deals with three matters: First, tracking based on camera images created in real time enables the provision of information about the things that are both still and moving. Second, as information is output based on the real-time coordinates of things on display, the parallel processing-based tracking algorithm is used to ensure smooth transfer. Third, a half-mirror is placed in front of the display area to establish an augmented reality system and visual distortion caused by mirror angle is adjusted by the reflection transformation matrix. The objectives of this system are to arouse the spectators' interest in things on display and offer easy and quick access to information about them.
