Mobile Augmented Reality for Media Covers (January 2010)

CDのジャケットを読み取り、ARと連動させている。

We have developed a real-time CD/DVD/book cover recognition system for mobile phones. The user can point the phone's camera at a media cover and see the object's identity in the viewfinder in about 1 second. The boundary of the object is also displayed for easy visibility against a cluttered background. Both the object's identity and the geometry are obtained from a server hosting a large database of media covers. As the user pans across a set of media covers, the system automatically recognizes new objects that come into view, without the user ever having to press a button. Since we employ state-of-the-art recognition algorithms, our system accurately recognizes objects in challenging environments and is robust against occlusions, clutter, geometric deformations, and photometric distortions.
