Abstract

We developed a computer vision-based mobile museum guide system named “Navilog”. It is a multimedia application for tablet devices. Using Navilog, visitors can take a picture of exhibits, and it identifies the exhibit and it shows additional descriptions and content related to it. It also enables them to log their locations within the museum. We made an experiment in the Railway Museum in Saitama, Japan.
