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.

본 논문에서는 증강현실에서 객체 증강 시, 특징점과 GPS를 이용하여 증강 위치를 효율적으로 보간할 수 있는 ICP(Iterative closest point) 매칭 기법을 제안한다. 다양한 환경에서 제한받지 않고 객체를 증강하기 위해 일반적으로 마커리스(Markerless) 방식을 사용하며, 대표적으로 평면 검출과 페이스 검출을 사용한다. 이는 현실과 자연스러운 동기화를 위한 것으로 계산은 작지만, 인식의 범위가 넓기 때문에 증강 위치에 대한 오차가 존재한다. 이러한 작은 오차는 특정 산업에서는 치명적일 수 있으며, 특히 건설이나 의료시설에서 발생하면 큰 사고로 이어진다. 객체를 증강 시킬 때 해당 환경에 대한 점 구름(Point cloud)을 수집하여 데이터베이스에 저장한다. 본 논문에서는 관측되는 점 구름과의 오차를 줄이기 위해 ICP 매칭 기법을 사용하며, 실린더 기반의 각도 보간을 이용하여 계산량을 줄인다. 결과적으로 특징점과 GPS를 이용하여 ICP 매칭 기법을 통해 효율적으로 처리함으로써, 증강 위치에 대한 정확도가 개선된 증강 방식을 보여준다.

Recently, there has been growing interest in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, with a particular focus on the advancement of augmented reality (AR) devices. However, there is a shortage of AR content. Augmented reality operates through marker-based and markerless methods. The marker-based approach involves using a camera to capture images that serve as markers, enhancing them through AR principles. To address the scarcity of AR content and improve the quality of character goods, this study proposes integrating AR technology into character goods. The character industry is expanding each year, leading to a diverse range of character goods. Character acrylic stands, among these goods, leverage game, webtoon, and animation character IPs for sales. To enhance the design process, we utilized the character image as a marker, allowing for the creation of content that aligns with the characteristics of the character IP. We selected a webtoon character and developed AR content, incorporating features such as voice, speech bubbles, and an introduction to the webtoon, tailored to the webtoon's characteristics. This study demonstrates the potential of AR to present visual and auditory information, paving the way for a variety of products, including diverse content. We anticipate that utilizing this research will lead to the emergence of products encompassing various contents.

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.

As augmented reality technology becomes more common and prevelant, marker-based AR contents are applied in various ways. However AR contents are still hardly utilized due to the low recognition rate of marker images. In order to increase the recognition rate of AR marker images, this paper experiment and analyzed how much the recognition rate of markers could be improved when image correction and design changes was applied. The experimental result shows that the image correction task could significantly improve the number of image characteristics and the recognition grade if the image was modified in a way its saturation value is increased. Moreover, the recognition rate was improved even more when regular pattern design was added to the original marker image. In conclusion, it was possible to make the marker well recognized through proper correction of the image and additional process of pattern design in the process of producing the marker image.

We propose a real-time tracking algorithm for an augmented reality (AR) system for TV broadcasting. The tracking is initialized by detecting the object with the SURF algorithm. A multi-scale approach is used for the stable real-time camera tracking. Normalized cross correlation (NCC) is used to find the patch correspondences, to cope with the unknown and changing lighting condition. Since a zooming camera is used, the focal length should be estimated online. Experimental results show that the focal length of the camera is properly estimated with the proposed online calibration procedure.

Typically, vision-based AR systems operate on the basis of prior knowledge of the environment such as a square marker. The traditional marker-based AR system has a limitation that the marker has to be located in the sensing range. Therefore, there have been considerable research efforts for the techniques known as real-time camera tracking, in which the system attempts to add unknown 3D features to its feature map, and these then provide registration even when the reference map is out of the sensing range. In this paper, we describe a real-time camera tracking framework specifically designed to track a monocular camera in a desktop workspace. Basic idea of the proposed scheme is that a real-time camera tracking is achieved on the basis of a plane tracking algorithm. Also we suggest a method for re-detecting features to maintain registration of virtual objects. The proposed method can cope with the problem that the features cannot be tracked, when they go out of the sensing range. The main advantage of the proposed system are not only low computational cost but also convenient. It can be applicable to an augmented reality system for mobile computing environment.
