Cultural Heritage in Marker-Less Augmented Reality: A Survey

Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) is considered as one of the most significant technologies in the field of computer graphics and is utilized for many applications. In this paper, we have presented a comprehensive survey for cultural heritage using Augmented Reality systems. This survey describes the main objectives and characteristics of Marker-less Augmented Reality Systems through presenting up-to-date research results in this area. We describe the marker-less technologies in the area of AR, indoor marker-less AR, outdoor marker-less AR, real-time solutions to the tracking problem, real-time registration, cultural heritage in AR, 3D remonstration techniques, as well as presenting the problems in each research.
