Current two-dimensional (2D) augmented reality (AR) devices present virtual image and information to a fixed focal plane, regardless of the various locations of ambient objects of interest around the observer. This limitation can lead to a visual discomfort caused by misalignments between the view of the ambient object of interest and the visual representation on the AR device due to a failing of the singular fusion. Since the misalignment becomes more severe as the depth difference gets greater, it can hamper visual understanding of the scene, interfering with task performance of the viewer. Thus, we analyzed the range of singular fusion (RSF) of AR images within which viewers can perceive the shape of an object presented on two different depth planes without difficulty due to the failure of singular fusion. It is expected that our analysis can inspire the development of advanced AR systems with low visual discomfort.

Augmented reality (AR) is currently being applied actively to commercial products, and various types of intelligent AR systems combining both the Global Positioning System and computer-vision technologies are being developed and commercialized. This paper suggests an in-vehicle head-up display (HUD) system that is combined with AR technology. The proposed system recognizes driving-safety information and offers it to the driver. Unlike existing HUD systems, the system displays information registered to the driver's view and is developed for the robust recognition of obstacles under bad weather conditions. The system is composed of four modules: a ground obstacle detection module, an object decision module, an object recognition module, and a display module. The recognition ratio of the driving-safety information obtained by the proposed AR-HUD system is about 73%, and the system has a recognition speed of about 15 fps for both vehicles and pedestrians.

Recently, with the development of mobile computing power, mobile-based VR and AR services are being developed. Due to network performance and computing power constraints, VR and AR services using large-capacity 3D content have limitations. A study on an efficient 3D content load method for a mobile device is required. The conventional method downloads all 3D content used for AR services at the same time. In this paper, we propose an active 3D content load according to the user's track. The proposed method is a partitioned 3D object load. Edge servers were installed for each area and connected through the MESH network. Partitioned load the required 3D object in the area referring to the user's location. The location is identified through the edge server information of the connected AP. The performance of the proposed method and the conventional method was compared. As a result of the comparison, the proposed method showed a stable Mobile AR Service. The results of this study, it is expected to contribute to the activation of edge server-based AR mobile services.

In recent years, great attention has been paid to using simple physical objects as tangible objects to improve user interaction in augmented reality (AR) environments. In this paper, we address AR-based user interaction using tangible objects, which has been used as a key component for virtual design evaluation of engineered products including digital handheld products. We herein consider the use of two types (product-type and pointer-type) of tangible objects. The user creates input events by touching specified parts of the product-type object with the pointer-type object, and the virtual product reacts to the events by rendering its visual and auditory contents on the output devices. The product-type object is used to reflect the geometric shape of a product of interest and to determine its position and orientation in the AR environment. The pointer-type object is used to recognize the reference position of the pointer (or finger) in the same environment. The rapid prototype of the product is employed as a good alternative to the product-type object, but various alternatives to the pointer-type object can be considered according to fabrication process and touching mechanism. In this paper, we present four alternatives to the pointer-type object and investigate their strong and weak points by performing experimental comparison of their various aspects including interaction accuracy, task performance, and qualitative user experience.

Augmented Reality(AR) is the core technology of the future knowledge service industry. It is expected to be used in various fields such as medical, education, entertainment etc. Briefly, augmented reality technology is a technique in which a mapped virtual object is augmented when a real-world object is viewed through a device after mapping a real-world object and a virtual object. In this paper, we implemented object detection and tracking system, which is a key technology of augmented reality. To speed up the object tracking, the ORB algorithm, which is a lightweight algorithm compared to the detection algorithm, is applied. In addition, KNN classifier, which is a machine learning algorithm, was applied to detect a single object by learning multiple images.

This paper presents a novel approach to design evaluation of portable consumer electronic (PCE) products using augmented reality (AR) based tangible interaction and functional behavior simulation. In the approach, the realistic visualization is acquired by overlaying the rendered image of a PCE product on the real world environment in real-time using computer vision based augmented reality. For tangible user interaction in an AR environment, the user creates input events by touching specified regions of the product-type tangible object with the pointer-type tangible object. For functional behavior simulation, we adopt state transition methodology to capture the functional behavior of the product into a markup language-based information model, and build a finite state machine (FSM) to controls the transition between states of the product based on the information model. The FSM is combined with AR-based tangible objects whose operation in the AR environment facilitates the realistic visualization and functional simulation of the product, and thus realizes faster product design and development. Based on the proposed approach, a product design evaluation system has been developed and applied for the design evaluation of various PCE products with highly encouraging feedbacks from users.

AR은 VR과 달리 실세계 공간의 객체에 대한 서비스를 제공하므로 서비스 개발을 방해하는 많은 요인들이 발생한다. 이를 보완하기위해 비주얼 마커, SLAM, 객체인식 등 여러 AR 기술이 존재한다. 본 논문은 AR 기술 중에서 객체인식의 정확도 향상을 위해 지역가변 이진화(Local variable binarization)와 색상의 군집화를 사용해서 이미지에서 객체를 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 지역 가변화는 픽셀을 순차적으로 읽어 들이면서 픽셀 주위의 값의 평균을 구하고, 이 값을 해당 픽셀의 임계 값으로 사용하는 알고리즘이다. 픽셀마다 주위 색상 값에 의해 임계 값이 변화되므로 윤곽선 표현이 기존의 이진화보다 뚜렷이 나타난다. 색상의 군집화는 객체의 중요색상과 배경의 중요색상을 중심으로 유사한 색상끼리 군집화 하는 것이다. 객체 내에서 가장 많이 나온 값과 객체 외에 가장 많이 나온 값을 각 각 기준으로 색조와 채도의 값을 Euclidean 거리를 사용해 객체의 색상과 배경 색상을 분리했다.

In order to increase the practical usability of the virtual reality(VR)-based BIM object in the construction site, the difference between the virtual image and the real image should be resolved, and when it is applied to the construction schedule management function, it is necessary to reduce the image gap between the virtual completion and the actual completion. In this study, in order to solve this problem, a prototype of 4D model is developed in which augmented reality (AR) and 3D printing technologies are linked, and the practical usability of a 4D model linked with two technologies is verified. When a schedule simulation is implemented by combining a three-dimensional output and an AR object, it is possible to provide more intuitive information as a tangible image-based schedule information when compared to a simple VR-based 4D model. In this study, a methodology and system development of an AR implementation system in which subsequent activities are simulated in 4D model using markers on 3D printing outputs are attempted.
