Randomly Distributed Small Chip Makers

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel marker design and its tracking algorithm for room-sized MR/AR environments. The markers and the algorithm are designed to solve the following practical problems: i) the difficulties in creating and arranging markers and ii) the trade-off between inconspicuousness and robustness of markers. The proposed markers are small chips that are cut off a large paper sheet, and are arranged at random positions in an environment or on objects. This paper shows the design concept and feasibility of the proposed markers.
