TL;DR

The proposed method is an automatic organization method focusing on video objects to describe video data in an efficient way by collating the real-world video data with map information using DP matching, to demonstrate the reliability of this method.

Abstract

Mixed reality (MR) systems which integrate the virtual world and the real world have become a major topic in the research area of multimedia. As a practical application of these MR systems, we propose an efficient method for making a 3D map from real-world video data. The proposed method is an automatic organization method focusing on video objects to describe video data in an efficient way, i.e., by collating the real-world video data with map information using DP matching. To demonstrate the reliability of this method, we describe successful experiments that we performed using 3D information obtained from the real-world video data.
