Technical section Dynamic superimposition of synthetic objects on rigid and simple-deformable real objects
Yann Argotti, Larry Steven Davis, Valerie Outters, Jannick P. Rolland · 2002
A current challenge in augmented reality applications is the accurate superimposition of synthetic objects on real objects within the environment. This challenge is heightened when the real objects are in motion and/or are non-rigid. In this article, we present a robust method for real-time, optical superimposition of synthetic objects on dynamic, rigid and simple-deformable real objects. Moreover, we illustrate this general method with the VRDA Tool, a medical education application enabling the visualization of internal human knee joint anatomy on a real human knee. r 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
