In recent years, more and more internationally famous exhibition sites and scholars have actively engaged in research of mobile navigation system with the function of augmented reality (AR) display. However, most systems can be operated only when a special marker or image is shot at a close distance, and only one target can be recognized and displayed at a time, the function is limited. In particular, such systems cannot work effectively when there are many visitors. In this paper, we presented a mobile navigation system that supports multiple targets markerless AR display function. Based on the k-means clustering algorithm, this system applies markerless image target with high recognition rating as the main basis to complete targets clustering, in order to simultaneously recognize multiple images from long distances, and successfully display corresponding 3D and multimedia navigation information, which can effectively improve the efficiency and practicality of AR mobile navigation system.
