A study on the markerless augmented reality for picture books

Abstract

This paper developed a markerless augmented reality (AR) applying for the picture books. We used the scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) to realize the markerless augmented reality application. In recent years, the picture books have been widely introduced and performed with voice, special material, and paper-based 3D object. However, it is embarrassed by the display field due to the page limitations. The major task of this paper aims to apply AR technology for the picture books. It allows viewer an alternative reading scenario, providing the display style more diversely, and interactively with the virtual 3D objects.
