In this study, real-time character navigation using AR lens developed by Nreal is developed. Real-time character navigation is not possible with general marker-based AR because NPC characters must guide while moving in an unspecified space. To replace this, a markerless AR system was developed using Digital Twin technology. Existing markerless AR is operated based on hardware such as GPS, gyroscope, and magnetic sensor, so location accuracy is low and processing time in the system is long, resulting in low reliability in real-time AR environment. In order to solve this problem, using the SLAM technique to construct a space into a 3D object and to construct a markerless AR based on point location, AR can be implemented without any hardware intervention in a real-time AR environment. This real-time AR environment configuration made it possible to implement a navigation system using characters in tourist attractions such as Suncheon Bay Garden and Suncheon Drama Filming Site.

Recently, the quality of cultural experience can be improved through a stereoscopic information service provided by the latest mobile-based Information Telecommunication technology without the human cultural commentators, which was used in order to enhance the understanding of our cultural heritage. The purpose of this paper is to produce contents that introduce cultural heritage using the Android-based GPS and augmented reality. In this paper we propose a culture content creation method that is based on location information such as user/cultural anomalies using GPS and augmented reality based on Markerless Tracking. Marker Detection Technology and Markerless Tracking Technology are used for smart phone's rapid recognition of augmented real world and accurate recognition according to the state of the cultural heritage. Also, the Google Map of Android is used to locate the user. The strength of this method lies in that it can be used for a variety of subjects while the existing methods are limited to certain kinds of augmented reality contents.

This paper presents how to implement Markerless Augmented Reality and how to create and apply reference data sets. There are three parts related with implementation: setting camera, creation of reference data set, and tracking. To create effective reference data sets, we need a 3D model such as CAD model. It is also required to create reference data sets from various viewpoints. We extract the feature points from the mode1 image and then extract 3D positions corresponding to the feature points using ray tracking. These 2D/3D correspondence point sets constitute a reference data set of the model. Reference data sets are constructed for various viewpoints of the model. Fast tracking can be done using a reference data set the most frequently matched with feature points of the present frame and model data near the reference data set.

인체동작 인식에 대한 연구는 재활치료, 운동선수의 동작 교정 및 모니터링, 3차원 애니메이션 제작등 많은 분야에서 필요로 하고 있다. 동작 인식에 대한 일반적인 방법으로는 반사 마커를 부착하여 여러 대의 적외선 카메라로 관절 운동을 관찰하는 방식이였다. 이러한 방식은 여러 개의 마커를 사용자들이 옷을 벗고 몸에 붙이거나 특수 복장을 착용해야 하는 불편함이 있을 뿐만 아니라 초기 위치 보정에도 많은 시간이 소모된다. 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 어떠한 특수 장비를 착용하거나 몸에 부착하지 않고 즉각적으로 인체의 움직임을 트래킹 할 수 있는 마커리스 트래킹시스템을 개발하였다. 이 시스템은 사람의 동작 분석을 하는데 있어 빠르게 측정 및 분석이 가능하고 특수 장비를 착용하지 않아도 됨으로 인해 동작에 방해를 받지 않아서 3차원 영상을 즉각적으로 확인할 수 있는 편리성을 갖추고 있다.

최근 증강현실(Augmented Reality, AR) 기술의 중요성이 인식되면서 다양한 분야의 서비스에 기술 도입사례가 등장하고 있다. AR에 있어 마커 검출 기술은 가장 기본이 되는 중요한 기술이다. 하지만 마커 기반의 증강현실 시스템은 그 오차가 매우 크고 이로 인해 센서정보와 같은 다양한 보조적 정보를 요구하게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 마커사용의 한계를 극복하기 위한 마커리스 트래킹(Markerless Tracking Technology)기술을 연구 하여 실시간 영상에서 목표로 하는 사물을 추적하여 증강현실 서비스로 도입하기 위한 시스템은 설계하였다. 본 시스템은 기존에 도입된 명함 분석, 자동차 번호판 인식 등 제한된 서비스의 한계를 극복하고 보다 다양한 연구 분야에 활용될 것이다.

In this paper, we propose a novel database creation and retrieval method of feature descriptors to support real-time marker-less tracking in the augmented reality environments. Each feature descriptor is encoded by integer and multi-level database is created in order to retrieve a feature descriptor efficiently. The retrieval of a feature descriptor is performed as follows: Firstly, candidate feature descriptors are searched by traversing the multi-level database. Secondly, the euclidean distance between input feature descriptor and each candidate one is compared. The shortest one is retrieved. The proposed method is 16 ms faster than previous KD-Tree method for each feature descriptor.

An augmented book is an application that augments such multimedia elements as virtual 3D objects generated by computer graphics, movie clips, or sound clips to a real book using AR technologies. It is intended to bring additional education and entertainment effects to users. For augmented books, this paper proposes an adaptive keyframe-based page tracking method to estimate the camera's 6 DOF pose in real-time after recognizing a page and performing wide-baseline keypoint matching. For a page tracking, proposed method in this paper chooses a proper keyframe and performs a tracking in two step of coarse-to-fine stage. As a result, the proposed method in this paper guarantees a robust tracking to view-point and illumination variations and real-time.

Augmented Reality technologies offer new possibilities to the exploration of spatial distributed information. In this work we describe the main issues in the development of an Augmented Reality system that allows the annotation of objects or features in the real world captured by a camera. The general operation of this kind of systems is described, as well as the main problems that need to be solved. Finally, as an example of case of study, we present an application for the annotation of information relative to containers in a marine terminal.
