Definition

Augmented reality for maintenance is a technologic solution encompassing both software and hardware resources with the aim of providing additional virtual information as a support for assisting technicians in performing complex tasks.

Introduction

Augmented reality (AR) is considered a computer vision solution aimed at “augmenting” the real world with additional information in the reality-virtuality continuum by Milgram and Kishino (1994). Differently from virtual reality (VR), where entire virtual reproductions of the real world are generated, in augmented reality the central idea is to add virtual objects (or overlay visual aids) into a real scene. Augmented scenes are conveyed to the user either in see-through head-mounted displays or in images captured by a camera. Computer vision algorithms have the key role of analyzing the images provided by the camera and solve the positioning and orientation problem...
