Abstract
This paper proposes a robust point transferring method for markerless AR applications. Using this method, any points specified at the initialization stage can be stably transferred during the augmentation process. These transferred points can be used for registration, annotation and video augmentation in markerless AR applications. This proposed point transferring method is based on a simple nonlinear optimization model. The proposed method has several advantages. Firstly, it is robust and stable as it remains effective when the camera is moved about quickly or when the scenes are largely occluded or filled with moving objects. Second, it is simple as the points that will be used for registration, annotation and video augmentation are only required to be specified in one image. Lastly, it is fast as the proposed simple optimization model can be solved quickly. Several experiments have been conducted to validate the performance of this proposed method.
