TL;DR

A mobile augmented reality application which runs at 14 FPS for 320x240 frames on a Nokia N95 smartphone and describes the optimizations and the requirements needed to obtain these results on mobile devices.

Abstract

We present MARCH, a complete solution for enhanced cultural heritage discovery using the mobile phone. Simply point the camera of a mobile device at prehistoric cave engravings. Then MARCH augments the captured images with the expert's drawings, highlighting in real time the animal engravings, which are almost impossible to observe with the naked eye. We have created a mobile augmented reality application which runs at 14 FPS for 320x240 frames on a Nokia N95 smartphone. We describe the optimizations and the requirements needed to obtain these results on mobile devices.

This paper achieves interactive frame rates of up to 20 Hz for natural feature tracking from textured planar targets on current-generation phones using an approach based on heavily modified state-of-the-art feature descriptors, namely SIFT and Ferns.

First steps towards handheld augmented reality

325 Citations2004Daniel Wägner, Dieter Schmalstieg

This paper describes the first stand-alone Augmented Reality system with self-tracking running on an unmodified personal digital assistant (PDA) with a commercial camera and introduces an optional client/server architecture that is based on wireless networking and is able to dynamically and transparently offload the tracking task in order toprovide better performance in select areas.

IEEE MultimediaEnabling Mobile Phones To Support Large-Scale Museum Guidance

130 Citations2007Erich Bruns, Benjamin Brombach +2 more

A museum guidance system called PhoneGuide is presented that uses widespread camera-equipped mobile phones for on-device object recognition in combination with pervasive tracking and provides location- and object-aware multimedia content to museum visitors, and is scalable to cover a large number of museum objects.

Scene Recognition with Camera Phones for Tourist Information Access

46 Citations2007Joo‐Hwee Lim, Yiqun Li +2 more

A system for tourist information access to provide scene description based on an image taken of the scene, and a new pattern discovery algorithm to learn image patches that are recurrent within a scene class and discriminative across others are described.

Hybrid tracking and visual search

5 Citations2008Jiang Gao

The still-image framework for efficient feature extraction and matching for still images on a mobile device is extended to video sequences because it is inefficient to perform feature extractionand matching for each frame in the video sequence.
