Augmented reality using high fidelity spherical panorama with HDRI: demonstration

Abstract

This demonstration presents an experimental method and apparatus configuration for producing spherical panoramas with high dynamic range imaging (HDRI). Our method is optimized for providing high fidelity augmented reality (AR) image-based environment recognition for mobile devices. We developed HDRI method that requires single acquisition which extends dynamic range from digital negative, this approach is to be used for multiple angles necessary for reconstructing accurately reproduced spherical panorama with sufficient luminance.
