Large Scale Information Marker Coding for Augmented Reality Using Graphic Code

Abstract

In this work, we will present some Graphic Code uses related to large scale information coding applied to Aug-mented Reality. Machine Readable Codes (MRCs) are broadlyused for many reasons. However, they are mostly based onsmall information (like URLs, id numbers, phone numbers, visitcard, etc.). The recently introduced Graphic Code differs fromclassical MRCs because it is very well integrated with imagesfor aesthetic control (Graphic Code has its aesthetic value thanclassical MRCs). Furthermore, it is able to code a large amountof information, thus it can also store other kinds of models (likemeshes, images, sketches, etc.) for applications that are unusualfor classical MRCs. The main advantage of using our approachas an Augmented Reality marker is the possibility of creatinggeneric applications that can read and decode these GraphicCode markers, which might contain 3D models and complexscenes encoded in it. Additionally, the resulting marker has strongaesthetic characteristics associated to it once it is generated fromany chosen base image.
