However, this revolution came at the expense of visual clutter. In this paper, we propose several new marker techniques, which are less obtrusive than the usual black and white squares. Furthermore, we report methods that allow tracking beyond the visibility of these markers further improving robustness. All presented techniques are implemented in a single tracking library, are highly efficient in their memory and CPU usage and run at interactive frame rates on mobile phones.","PeriodicalId":168134,"journal":{"name":"2008 7th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133175769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper focuses on the simplification of light-source models for generating the perceptually-correct artificial shadows. First, we conducted subjective evaluations to obtain knowledge about the human perception of the shadows. Then the knowledge was applied to control the resolution of the light-source map to generate perceptually-correct artificial shadows. Comparative studies among artificial and real shadows justified perceptually correctness. All experiments were done using still images, not videos. Our research becomes a reference to determine the resolution of light-source map in an MR scene.","PeriodicalId":168134,"journal":{"name":"2008 7th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality","volume":"161 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133363776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, the dynamic combination of mobile and stationary trackers enables the creation of new wide-area tracking concepts. In this work, we present a setup in which a gyroscope is dynamically fused with three different mobile and stationary sensors, based on the concepts of spatial relationship graphs (SRGs) and patterns. For this, we contribute new patterns that, based on well-known algorithms, enable the transformation of rotation velocity and the fusion with different absolute trackers. The usefulness of the approach is shown in a system that automatically reconfigures the SRG based on course tracking data, and, depending on the structure of this SRG, automatically selects a suitable fusion algorithm.","PeriodicalId":168134,"journal":{"name":"2008 7th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality","volume":"228 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131586727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
