Extending the Tracking Distance of Fiducial Markers for Large Indoor Augmented Reality Applications
Ihsan Rabbi, Sehat Ullah · Advances in Electrical and Computer Engineering · 2015
Marker-based tracking systems provide fast, accurate and real-time tracking solution for controlled indoor augmented reality applications. Due to the short tracking distance of marker-based technique, this approach is rarely used in large indoor augmented reality applications. This paper presents the design and implementation of a new layered marker that extends the tracking distance to large environment. A step by step procedure is given to design a layered marker for any large indoor environment. The tracking method of the designed marker is presented for accurate results in a specific environment. The method of designing and tracking layered marker is demonstrated using a standard toolkit framework. The results produced while evaluating the layered marker reveal that this marker extends the tracking distance to large indoor augmented reality applications.
